Spring Boot 2.0 Actuator git properties not added to /info

Question

I'm using Gradle with Spring Boot 2.0.0.M7 and have the following plugins applied:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:2.0.0.M7"
    }
}

plugins {
    id "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties" version "1.4.17"
}

spring-boot-starter-actuator dependency is also there. git.properties files is generated correctly to build/main/resoures directory. I've also added property management.info.git.mode=full. Due to official docs, git information should be added to /info endpoint automatically with GitInfoContributor. However none of the above helps and /info endpoint returns empty JSON instead - {}. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

UPDATE 1: What I've found so far is that if I manually copy git.properties to out/resources, this way it would work, but they are not put there for some reason.

UPDATE 2: When I run with gradle bootRun it works, however when I start it from Intellij IDEA our run gradle clean build which runs the test which checks if those properties are displayed on /info endpoint - it doesn't work.

seems as if you need to apply the plugin as well (otherwise the git.properties file is not bundled within the jar): `apply plugin: "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties"` — fateddy, Jan 07 '18 at 10:24
Unfortunately that doesn't help. With Gradle > 2.1, apply section can be skipped if you specify `plugins` section as far as I know. https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties — yyunikov, Jan 07 '18 at 10:29
Yes, I see it packaged in `BOOT-INF/classes` dir in jar. Interesting fact I've just found, is that with `gradle bootRun` it works, however when I start it from Intellij IDEA our run `gradle clean build` which runs the test which checks if those properties are displayed on /info - it doesn't work. — yyunikov, Jan 07 '18 at 10:38
So I think it gets packaged and then it works. However before packaging like running from IDE or running from tests - it doesn't. — yyunikov, Jan 07 '18 at 10:40
Running from the IDE might not work - because usually this tools package the artifact into a separate (other than gradle/maven( directory for execution. — fateddy, Jan 07 '18 at 10:46
@fateddy ok, that's sad. Thanks for the answer, I'll keep digging, maybe there is any solution at least for checking that from tests. — yyunikov, Jan 07 '18 at 10:51

The problem was running the app from IDE. As the properties are generated on the phase when JAR is assembled, they were not included. Running the application via java -jar artifact.jar or gradle bootRun works without any issues.

Thanks @fateddy for help on resolving the issue.

You can configure your IDE to call the process-resources maven goal, prior to the Build/Launch, this will cause the git.properties file and build-info.properties files to be generated prior to the application launching.

I use Maven, but a similar configuration should be possible for Gradle.

thanks, that works for running from IDE from Gradle too – yyunikov Feb 24 '18 at 09:54
Yes. Gradle has task `processResources`, `processTestResources` and `processItestResources`. And don't run with IDE, run with Gradle. – WesternGun Dec 03 '20 at 14:39

For IntelliJ IDEA, you can enable Delegate IDE build/run actions to Gradle option in Settings (Preferences) | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle | Runner tab.
