Spring cloud config doesn't detect git uri

How do I reference resources directory (Or a directory relative to my source files) as my local git uri for the config server (On Windows)?

I've tried file:///resources and file:///full/path/to/resources, all seem to fail.

As requested, here's some code:

ConfigServiceApplication.java

@EnableConfigServer
@SpringBootApplication
public class ConfigServiceApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ConfigServiceApplication.class, args);
    }
}

application.properties

spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri=file:///full/path/to/resources
spring.application.name=config-service
server.port=8888

I'm embarrassed to write this but intellij wouldn't clean the build. I ran the gradle task and it all worked out.
