Ok yall, I've searched high and low. Disclaimer: this is my first Spring project, so I may be just making a mistake.
I am going to deploy an application to the heroku platform. I can push to github main branch, and it will auto deploy to heroku. Long story short: I'm trying to set up my local environment to run it's own database, and the production environment will run its own database (for obvious reasons).
I am using the application.properties, along with the application-{profile}.properties naming convention with these two files: application-local.properties, and application-prod.properties.
You can view references to this Stack overflow answer for why, as well as this reference in the spring docs.
I have set my environent variables in my local System, and can access it in cmd, by running echo %WHATEVER_ENV%
Issue: this is what my application.properties file looks like :
spring.profiles.active=${SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE}
IF I change this to : spring.profiles.active=local
it will read from local, which is hard-coded values. BUT
if i change it to prod, it DOES read the correct file, but I get errors (I have set all of these value in my sytem, by the way);
My application-prod.properties file reads like this
spring.datasource.url= ${SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL}
spring.datasource.username= ${SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME}
spring.datasource.password= ${SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD}
spring.jpa.database-platform= ${SPRING_JPA_DATABASE-PLATFORM}
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
My "run" log shows this
Factory method 'entityManagerFactory' threw exception;
nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Driver
org.postgresql.Driver claims to not accept jdbcUrl,
${SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL}
^^^This is my issue. It is like spring is just NOT pulling in the env variables. What am I doing wrong?
