Specifying application config file by name when Spring Boot starts up

Currently I can build my Gradle-based Spring Boot app like so:

./gradlew build && java -Dspring.config=. -jar build/libs/myapp.jar

And this works fine provided I have an application.yml in the root of my project directory.

However, I would now like to have both an application-local.yml as well as an application-dev.yml, and to specify which one to use when I build + run myapp.jar.

How can I specify either file at startup?

You can use Spring boot's capability of using Profile Specific property file. You can specify the application yml inline with your profile name application-[profile].yml. In your case, it would be

application-dev.yml
application-local.yml

Specify the profile you would want to use as a command line argument

-Dspring.profiles.active=dev
