Loading ApplicationInsights.xml from current directory

[symm]

In the ConfigurationFileLocator there is an option to load configuration from the executing jar directory

I've got an application packaged as a jar and ApplicationInsights.xml configuration in the same directory

squash ➜ ls -1
ApplicationInsights.xml
raf.jar

When I run my application it fails to read the configuration from ApplicationInsights.xml

java -jar raf.jar

AI: INFO 07-09-2015 12:08, 14: Successfully registered the filter 'ApplicationInsightsWebFilter'
AI: INFO 07-09-2015 12:08, 14: Configuration file 'ApplicationInsights.xml' was NOT found by default class loader
AI: ERROR 07-09-2015 12:08, 14: Failed to initialize configuration, exception: null

Is there a way to externalise the config? I can't package the config xml in the jar as a resource because it varies depending on the environment the app runs in.

Hi,
Thank you for your input.
What version are you currently using?

[gupele]

It might be that your ApplicationInsights.xml is not well formed, could you please check that? please make sure that there are no 'bad' chars at the beginning of the file

Hi @gupele, I'm using com.microsoft.azure:applicationinsights-web:1.0.1') with the following xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationInsights xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ApplicationInsights/2013/Settings" schemaVersion="2014-05-30">
  <SDKLogger />

Thanks
The conf file seems to be fine.
I think we've found the issue, a new version 1.0.2 that includes the fix, is expected to be released in the next few days

[symm]

Nice one, thanks @gupele!

Is this fixed ? right now i have the same Problem with almost the exact configuration of @symm.

I am using this Lib:

// MS Azure Application Insights logging
compile 'com.microsoft.azure:applicationinsights-logging-logback:1.0.4'

My ApplicationInsights.xml file is not found.

Failed to find configuration file, exception while fetching from library location: 'null'
