The ReasonSpring Cloud Config Client has changed and technically bootstrap.properties and bootstrap.yml files are deprecated.
Correct Solution
Move all properties from boostrap.properties to application.properties (it can be .yml as well)
Remove bootstrap.properties file
Replace spring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:8888 with spring.config.import=configserver:http://localhost:8888
This is a proper way to tell you Spring Boot app that you want to load properties from the Spring Cloud Config service that is running on localhost:8888.
