How do I let spring boot to use my profile in default?

I am trying run a spring boot application and I understand that i can use vm option to set my profile, but is there a way that i can set my profile in default so that i don't need to deal with the vm option? also can i let mvn install run my profile in default?

# my bootstrap
spring:
config:
activate:
on-profile: local
cloud:
vault:
enabled: false
---
spring:
config:
activate:
on-profile: local
---
spring:
config:
activate:
on-profile: it
cloud:
vault:
enabled: true

this is my pom file

this is the error that i got

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'vaultPropertySourceLocator' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/vault/config/VaultBootstrapPropertySourceConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'vaultPropertySourceLocator' parameter 0: Error creating bean with name 'vaultTemplate' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/vault/config/VaultBootstrapConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.vault.core.VaultTemplate]: Factory method 'vaultTemplate' threw exception with message: Error creating bean with name 'vaultSessionManager' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/vault/config/VaultBootstrapConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'vaultSessionManager' parameter 0: Error creating bean with name 'clientAuthentication' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/vault/config/VaultBootstrapConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.vault.authentication.ClientAuthentication]: Factory method 'clientAuthentication' threw exception with message: Cannot create authentication mechanism for TOKEN. This method requires either a Token (spring.cloud.vault.token) or a token file at ~/.vault-token.

I try this in my pom file

<profiles>
<profile>
<id>default</id>
<properties>
<spring.profiles.active>local</spring.profiles.active>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>

and
spring.profiles.active=local in my application.properties file

both of them are not working. still giving me a vault token not been set error.
I debug into it and see that the BootstrapApplicationListener contains an empty list for active profile.

I take Scott Frederick's advice, and i was able to run my local profile with mvn springboot:run. but when i run mvn install, it fail with the same error.

The Spring Boot Maven plugin documentation describes how to do this.

For your example, you could configure this in pom.xml:

<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<profiles>local</profiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>

Also note that any configuration that is outside of a profile document (that is, above the first --- document separator) is part of a profile named default and is used when no profile is specified.

If I get your question right, you want the 'local' profile to be always used when you start the spring boot application even if you do it without maven, like java -jar my-app.jar?

If so you could consider implementing EnvironmentPostProcessor:

public class AddLocalProfileEnvironmentPostProcessor implements EnvironmentPostProcessor {

    @Override
    public void postProcessEnvironment(ConfigurableEnvironment environment, 
      SpringApplication application) {
      // maybe some programmatic conditions here to decide whether to include this profile or not
      application.setAdditionalProfile("local");
    }
}

Now register it in spring.factories and check:

Inside src/main/resources create a folder META-INF and inside file spring.factories Place the following into this file:

org.springframework.boot.env.EnvironmentPostProcessor=
com.yourapp.yourpackage.AddLocalProfileEnvironmentPostProcessor 

You can also implement the Ordered interface or use an @Order annotation if you want the post processors to be invoked in specific order.

thanks for everyone who trying to help. so i find the solution. it is to use spring.profiles.active=local in my bootstrap.

spring:
profiles:
active: local
cloud:
vault:
enabled: false
---
spring:
config:
activate:
on-profile: local
---
spring:
config:
activate:
on-profile: it
cloud:
vault:
enabled: true

again, thanks Mark Bramnik and Scott Frederick, appreciate it
