title: Spring Boot Config Client is not fetching property from Config Server
body: <p>I am able to start Config Server and can load profiles via <a href="http://localhost:8888/customer-microservice/dev" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:8888/customer-microservice/dev</a> as shown below

  <p>I am trying to test via controller present in spring client application as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@SpringBootApplication
  @EnableSwagger2
  @EnableDiscoveryClient
  public class CustomerMicroserviceApplication {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          SpringApplication.run(CustomerMicroserviceApplication.class, args);
      }
  
  }
  
  @RestController
  @RefreshScope
  public class GreetController {
  
      @Value("${name}")
      private String personName;
  
      @RequestMapping("/greeting")
      public String greet(){
          return "hello " + personName;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Configuration present inside bootstrap.yml is as below :
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MruRw.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MruRw.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>While starting the client application, it's failing with error as Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'name' in value "${name}"</p>
  
  <p>I think the client application is unable to contact the config server.</p>
  
  <p>I browsed  a lot to fix this issue but I am unable to understand the problem.
  Kindly help as I am new to spring cloud.</p>
