Allow consul config to use something other than spring.application.name

[ummershervani]

In the docs its mentioned that. You can override the Config look up by setting up these params.
spring.cloud.config.name
spring.cloud.config.label
spring.cloud.config.profile.

But my application doesn't start as its trying to find folder named "Application Name" under consul. Which obviously doesn't exist and causes failure. Overriding option does'nt work.

What I am using
compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-config')
compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-discover

spring.cloud.config. don't belong to spring cloud consul. Label doesn't make sense in consul (since it isn't a VCS). Can you explain more what you are trying to accomplish?

[ummershervani]

@spencergibb , spring.cloud.config was the only thing I could find to override the defaults, you are right we dont use labels at all. Here is my requirement, In Consul our Key values are stored within a folder name which is different from my Application Name.

For instance here is an ex.
Here is what I have in BootStrap.
spring.application.name=Hello World
spring.cloud.config.name=configfoldername
spring.cloud.consul.host=http://localhost
spring.cloud.consul.port=8500
spring.cloud.config.enabled=true
spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled=true
spring.cloud.consul.config.prefix=private

In Consul, Values are stored in under http://localhost:8500/ui/#/dc1/kv/private/consulfoldername/
So I want spring to go to this folder in Consul and load the properties for me. But Spring goes here http://localhost:8500/ui/#/dc1/kv/Hello World/ and throws an exception, because it always try and go with application name.

How would I achieve my requirement.

[spencergibb]

The spring.cloud.consul.* properties should go in bootstrap.properties and it should access the application in /private/Hello World. There is currently no option to use something other than spring.application.name.

Adds support for spring.cloud.consul.config.name

@spencergibb , thanks much.

[ummershervani]

@spencergibb , For the tests I am seeing the key values are not picked up by spring from consul. Since I have my DBUrl in consul, I am seeing below error.

Here is the stacktrace..

@ummershervani that seems unrelated to this issue. Please open a new issue with instructions to reproduce or a sample project that reproduces the problem.

[ummershervani]

@spencergibb , ofcouse it is a different issue. Not sure its very critical, problem disappeared when i include below in bootstrap properties under test.resources. I will get one issue open when I get in to root cause. I would assume this should have picked up from bootstarp.properties under main.
spring.application.name="appname"
spring.cloud.consul.config.prefix=private
