Changing Spring Boot application version through gradle.properties while using Spring Boot gradle-plugin

I'm using the Spring boot gradle plugin and have put this in my application.yml:

spring:
    application:
        name: myapp
        version: ${version}

I process the resource file for tokens using:

processResources {
  filesMatching('application.yml') {
    expand(project.properties)
  }
}

And I use this annotation in my controller:

public class MyController {
  @Value("${spring.application.version}")
  private String appversion
...

And it all works, yay! The problem is that I can't figure out what is actually controlling the version because this reports version 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT even though I specify a different version in gradle.properties.

I tried updating the springBoot DSL thusly:

springBoot {
  buildInfo {
    properties {
      version = "${project.version}"
    }
  }
}

But it has no effect. Could someone help me understand the proper way to increment/manage the version using the Spring Boot gradle plugin?

As said in my comment, the way you have set the version in gradle.properties and how you configured the application.yml is correct.

I guess you still have a version property defined in your main build.gradle, which overrides the value set in the gradle.properties with value 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
