Visual Studio Code + Spring Boot Project change spring.properties.additional-location etc

Recently i decided to pass from Eclipse to VS Code , everything is running smoothly for Javascript development but for Spring Boot applications i don't know how to configure them here .

Except of the application.properties file i have one more extra local.properties which i use to run locally the Spring Boot Application .

I see there is a launch.json file :

{
    "configurations": [

        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "CodeLens (Launch) - fmApplication",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "com.application.zz.app.fmApplication",
            "projectName": "file-manager"
        }
    ]
}

In Eclipse i am adding additional configuration to run my Spring Boot Application like shown below :

How can i do that is Vs Code :) ?

Here is the issue on Vs Code Github Page

Unlike JavaScript, Java code needs to be compiled so it wont work out of the box with visual studio code since it's just a glorified text editor.

There are however multiple tools to accommodate for this, and the folks at VS code have a nice guide for setting you up - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-spring-boot

Solution :

So you have an application.properties file and locally you have a application-local.properties(attention , you must name your local properties like that).

Then in your launch.json you add it to your program parameters :

"args": "--spring.profiles.active=local"

So your launch.json file will look like this for example :

{
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "java",
      "name": "CodeLens (Launch) - fmApplication",
      "request": "launch",
      "mainClass": "com.intralot.l10.app.fmApplication",
      "projectName": "file-manager",
      "args": "--spring.profiles.active=local"
    }
  ]
}
