spring cloud config with native file - spring-cloud-config

Question

when config files changed,the config server did not reload the changes.
It can't monitor the native file changes or something wrong?
spring:
profiles:
active: native
cloud:
config:
server:
native:
search-locations: classpath:/conf/, classpath:/conf/licensingservice/

Answer 1

Since that your configuration are packed in your jar if you change a configuration since that it is saved in your classpath the server do not see the modification.
A better option is save these config in an other place outside the classpath.
you can use a configuration like below:
spring:
application:
name: configserver
cloud:
config:
server:
native:
searchLocations: file://${LOCAL_REPO}
in this way you can pilot the place with the environment variable LOCAL_REPO.
Of course I suggest you for the production to move the configuration repository to a git repository that it is a more suitable production ready choice.
I hope that this can help you
