Due to business requirements, we require the use of a Kubernetes client for an app running on Spring Boot 2.4. Whilst testing the ConfigMap loader (specified via a bootstrap file), we noticed that, in the event that the ConfigMap cannot be loaded, the app simply ignores this issue and continues the start-up process. For our requirements, our app must at least fail to start-up if it cannot load the ConfigMap.
At first glance, we didn’t see anything in the documentation suggesting a possible workaround to this… Then, going through older issues, we see that something similar to this has already been asked for (i.e. #411 ) but in the context of a retry policy.
We would like to know if there is, by any chance, a fail policy feature already being worked on?
If not, is there an already existing workaround for this?
