[FIXED] IntelliJ IDEA not picking up correct application-{}.properties file

Issue

I have a spring boot 1.5.1 project that uses profile properties file. In my /src/main/resources I have all my properties files src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2wCY8.png" alt="enter image description here">

When using IntelliJ 2016.3.4 I set the

Run Configuration | Active Profile

to "local" and run it. I see this in the console:

The following profiles are active: local

But there is a value in the property file data.count.users=2

and used as:

@Value("${data.count.users}")
private int userCount;

that is not being picked up and thus causing the error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'data.count.users' in string value "${data.count.users}"

However, if I run this via gradle

bootRun {
  systemProperty 'spring.profiles.active', System.properties['spring.profiles.active'] }

as

gradle bootRun -Dspring.profiles.active=local

then everything starts up using the local profile as expected. Can anyone see why this is not being properly picked up? In IntelliJ Project Structure I have my /src/main/resources defined as my Resource Folders.

UPDATE:

Adding screenshot of Configuration:

Solution

1. Pease add Spring facet to your Spring Boot module to get full support
2. Is classpath of module heimdall the correct one, i.e. does it contain the shown resources folder with your application.properties?
3. If this doesn't help, please file a minimum sample project reproducing the exact structure of your project in our bugtracker, there are too many variables to investigate https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
