Spring Cloud Config Server: How to override shared properties in app specific file

I would like to share some properties across several applications as suggested below, and I would expect to be able to override the value so if I have x=1 in application-dev.properties I should be able to override x in my application specific file i.e in my case test_app-dev.properties contains x=2. So when I make a call to http://local host:8888/test_app/dev x=1 trumps all. Files are in git. Shouldn’t it be returning x=2 or am I misunderstanding the intent of shared properties?

In https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/single/spring-cloud-config.html, paragraph "2.1.5 Sharing Configuration With All Applications". It says:

With file-based (i.e. git, svn and native) repositories, resources with file names in application* are shared between all client applications (so application.properties, application.yml, application-*.properties etc.). You can use resources with these file names to configure global defaults and have them overridden by application-specific files as necessary.

Initially myself also faced the issue. After looked at @user1549440 answer, got an idea on how to use common properties. After arranged the sharable configuration folder as a first searchable path, it's working as expected. Just added working example for handy solution.

Below is the example configuration in configuration-server.

server:
  port: 8888
spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        git:
          uri: file://app/configurations
          default-label: master
          search-paths:
            - 'common*'
            - 'petstore*'
            - 'inventory*'
  info:
     app:
       name: Configuration Server
       description: Spring Cloud Configuration Server
       version: 1.0.0
  security: 
    user: 
      name: myname
      password: mypass

Below is the sample folder structure for the applications.

├── app
│   └── configurations
│       ├── common
│       │   ├── application-dev.yml
│       │   ├── application-test.yml
│       │   ├── application-stg.yml
│       │   └── application-prod.yml
│       ├── inventory
│       │   ├── petstore-dev.yml
│       │   ├── petstore-test.yml
│       │   ├── petstore-stg.yml
│       │   └── petstore-prod.yml
│       └── petstore
│           ├── inventory-dev.yml
│           ├── inventory-test.yml
│           ├── inventory-stg.yml
│           └── inventory-prod.yml

I found the issue I had the order incorrect in my spring.cloud.config.server.git.searchPaths

If you are using git based repositories, check if files are committed or not. Seems to be the same problem as mentioned in thread - https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config/issues/32

Hope that will helps.
