Sprin cloud config server- I am trying to clone data in linux machine user defined directory instead of linux default system directory /tmp/config-repo-

[arc872014]

As per Spring cloud documentation-

With VCS-based backends (git, svn), files are checked out or cloned to the local filesystem. By default, they are put in the system temporary directory with a prefix of config-repo-. On linux, for example, it could be /tmp/config-repo-. Some operating systems routinely clean out temporary directories. This can lead to unexpected behavior, such as missing properties. To avoid this problem, change the directory that Config Server uses by setting spring.cloud.config.server.git.basedir or spring.cloud.config.server.svn.basedir to a directory that does not reside in the system temp structure.

We are trying to clone the data to user defined location /var/**/configserver/data using below configuration for the same but it doesn't create. Please suggest. To be informed , we are using Java 17, Spring boot 2.7.0 , Spring cloud 2021.0.3 which loads config server and config client dependencies with version 3.1.3

spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
prefix: /config
composite:
-
type : git
uri: git@github.com:xyz/eai-123-{application}${levelname}.git
ignoreLocalSshSettings: true
passphrase: ${PASSPHRASE}
privateKey: ${DEPLOY_KEY}
basedir: /var/abc/configserver/data
clone-on-start: true
-
type: git
uri: git@github.com:xyz/eai-123-common${levelname}.git
bootstrap: true
ignoreLocalSshSettings: true
passphrase: ${PASSPHRASE}
privateKey: ${DEPLOY_KEY}
basedir: /var/abc/configserver/data
clone-on-start: true

Please ignore if pasted configuration here, has any space issues, it may be because of copy paste. My original yml does not have any space issues so is a valid yml.

We no longer support this version of Spring Cloud plus update to Spring Cloud 2023.0.x and try and reproduce the error. If you can still reproduce the error please provide details on the error you are seeing.

Thanks for your response. I am closing the issue for now as i can't upgrade the spring cloud version for now.
