spring boot jar not picking profile specific properties outside jar

I have a spring boot jar(name : myjar) located in the directory structure

D:/hello/myjar

The fat jar contains profile specific application.properties in src/main/resources for e.g. application-local.properties

I want to override the attributes defined in the application-local.properties inside the jar with application-local.properties outside the jar

Hence I created application-local.properties and kept it in the same folder as jar i.e. D:/hello

However when I run my jar using the command :

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=local D:/hello/myjar.jar

it still picks the properties which is inside the jar. Am I missing something ?

Try this use -D before -jar

java -Dspring.profiles.active=local -jar  D:/hello/myjar.jar

let's see https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config

I think it was more of point that from where I was running my jar from the command prompt.

If I run the jar from the folder where my jar is present, it does picks the profile specific files present outside the jar.
