How can use ConfigDataEnvironmentPostProcessor and spring.profiles.group?

Question

I'm using Spring Boot 2.4.2 and tried to use spring.profiles.group in my property files like:

application.yaml

spring:
  profiles:
    group:
      local: core

application-core.yaml

---
spring:
  config:
    activate:
      on-profile: local

...

but the "group" property is not found. As I checked, it is using deprecated ConfigFileApplicationListener instead of ConfigDataEnvironmentPostProcessor.

Why it uses legacy spring profile processing even though version of spring is upper 2.4.0?

Answer 1

application-core.yaml doesn't require the following:

---
spring:
  config:
    activate:
      on-profile: local

This is what is needed:

application.yaml:

spring:
  profiles:
    group:
      local: core

application-core.yaml

...
