IntelliJ Community Edition not recognising properties file on application startup

I have an application which when I try to run in intelliJ by runing the main method I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'jwt.header' in value "${jwt.header}"
    at org.springframework.util.PropertyPlaceholderHelper.parseStringValue(PropertyPlaceholderHelper.java:174) ~[spring-core-4.3.19.RELEASE.jar:4.3.19.RELEASE]
    at org.springframework.util.PropertyPlaceholderHelper.replacePlaceholders(PropertyPlaceholderHelper.java:126) ~[spring-core-4.3.19.RELEASE.jar:4.3.19.RELEASE]
    at org.springframework.core.env.AbstractPropertyResolver.doResolvePlaceholders(AbstractPropertyResolver.java:236) ~[spring-core-4.3.19.RELEASE.jar:4.3.19.RELEASE]

When i build and run this project as a jar, it works fine, recognising the propertys file. I am new to intelliJ after making the switch from eclipse. I have tried several things such as this: Article1 and this Article2 and this Article3 but I have no luck.

Is there some settings I should know about to get intelliJ to recognise my property's file? I have marked my resource folder as a source root as this contains my property's file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My colleague is able to run the project perfectly in the enterprise edition?

Thanks

This was resolved by having $MODULE_WORKING_DIR$ set as the Working Directory for the applications run configuration. For any future readers, my working directory was set to i.e /home/workspace/project rather than the $MODULE_WORKING_DIR$. Not quite sure how this worked, but it has! I believe this is an internal intelliJ feature
