I'm trying to organise a set of config files in folders within my Git repo. I read in the Spring Cloud Docs this can be done this way:

The HTTP service has resources in the form:

/{application}/{profile}[/{label}] 

/{application}-{profile}.yml

/{label}/{application}-{profile}.yml

/{application}-{profile}.properties

/{label}/{application}-{profile}.properties

So I created my config structure following the first pattern:

app1/uat/application.yml

But the Config service doesn't find it. It doesn't really say much about what the files inside the profile folder should look like, and everywhere I see examples of the 2nd and 4th patterns.

Does the first pattern actually work? Can anybody give an example?

Solved, just needed to add: 

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        git:
          uri: https://github.com/your-repo
          searchPaths: '{application}/{profile}'

That will do the trick

    Thanks a lot, it worked for me! Just one funny thing, I have a profile named dev and it just didn't work for it, I had to rename it to development and then the folder was mapped correctly... – Toyo Nov 24 '17 at 22:26

    May not be immediately obvious, but multiple searchPaths are allowed. So just using the yaml list syntax works. The functionality seems to come from `ConfigFileApplicationListener`, though I found that contrary to stated in its documentation, precedence is decided in reverse: last location in the list wins. – Anly Jun 20 '19 at 16:04
  • @Toyo, did you have to rename the profile or the folder to 'development' for it to work? – user5163359 Oct 11 '21 at 13:58
  • @user5163359, I am sorry it has been so long I don't remember anymore, but by reading my comment, I suspect I renamed everything to development. – Toyo Oct 25 '21 at 01:49
