A local spring boot config connector about spring-cloud-connectors HOT 5 CLOSED

This kind of "default to local" mechanism would ideally check that none of the other cloud connectors (Cloud Foundry, Heroku, or others that might be created later) had returned true from isInMatchingCloud(), as opposed to just checking that the app is not running in CF.

You are correct than the cloud connector modules do not know about the Spring app context. In fact, by design, only the spring-cloud-spring-service-connector module has any dependency on or knowledge of Spring. So this kind of detection, defaulting, and wiring to Spring Boot should happen in a layer above the cloud connectors.

Maybe what you are suggesting could be triggered by an @Enable annotation provided in the spring-service-connector, which would allow the local config to be specified as a default. Support code could kick in and populate the properties used by the local cloud connector from mechanisms known to Spring Boot. Or this could be another condition supported by spring-boot-autoconfigure.

It's not entirely clear to me what it is you're trying to do. How are you wanting to configure services through Spring Boot--using the application.properties and listing out the URI components? Why do you want to have multiple different configuration paths instead of just putting those complete URIs in a file?

@scottfrederick yes, a more general isInMatchingCloud() would be ideal. An empty getServicesData() may still work as boot has default ways to configure things like mongo.

@chrylis what I am trying to avoid is having the normal boot application.properties and the local connector config file.

@spencergibb I would have liked to have the spring.cloud properties made available via the main environment abstraction, but the constraint that core doesn't have any Spring dependencies prevented that. Unfortunately, your proposed local connector has the downside of having to know about every possible deployment option and exclude it.

@chrylis my NotCFConfigConnector was just an example of what I did so my local running boot app didn't have to have a local connector. isInMatchingCloud() could be something like spring.cloud.boot.connector=true.

Maybe it's not a spring boot connector, just a no-op one like I've written (spring.cloud.noop.connector=true) and let boot configure things as it does without spring cloud during local development.
