hi guys i need to set based on a profile a environment variable (here https_proxy) for local development. any best practise for it ? (my idea so far is to set it within a @Configuration in the init block with ProcessBuilder, but no luck so far 😞 )

[Tobias Berger]

if you only need it for local development and not for production, I suggest just customizing your run configuration and setting the environmelt variable from outside.

hi tobias, yeah sure we only need it for local development. can i "pin" https_proxy within application yaml on a specific profile ?

[Tobias Berger]

if you can set it it your application yaml you can just add a profile specific configuration. E.g. you can add a file called application-local-proxy.yml and configure your profile there. Now whenever the profile local-proxy is active, that config will be loaded (in addition to the default config file)

[Dsittel]

my profile is called "remote" so i am calling it application-remote.yaml. (it need exactly this syntax i guess ? )

[Tobias Berger]

yes, it's just application-<profile>.yml

[Tobias Berger]

file type doesn't matter of course.

[Tobias Berger]

and just a hint that people often forget: you can use mutliple profiles simutlaneously.

[Dsittel]

yeah thx we are doing this all the time

[Dsittel]

i was not aware of this application-<profile> really nice hint

[Dsittel]

so i ve set within application-remote a variable called proxy: ${HTTPS_PROXY:url}

[Dsittel]

hmm does not work 😞
