How to properly set up parameter-store-config?

[andreas-trvlk]

In general, I have never been able to make it work. Not even pass the initial run. I always got his error:

15:24:17.815 [restartedMain] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to load config data from 'optional:aws-parameterstore:'
	at org.springframework.boot.context.config.StandardConfigDataLocationResolver.getReferences(StandardConfigDataLocationResolver.java:141)

Specification:

Spring Boot: 2.6.4
Spring Cloud: 2021.0.1
Spring Cloud AWS: 2.4.0

Dependency:

dependencies {
  implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
  implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
  implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-validation")
  developmentOnly("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
  annotationProcessor("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor")

  implementation("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-sleuth")

  implementation("io.awspring.cloud:spring-cloud-aws-parameter-store-config:2.4.0")
}

NOTE: It is just some of them. Can add more if needed.

application.yml

spring:
  application:
    name: app-name
  config:
    import:
    - "optional:aws-parameterstore:"
  sleuth:
    enabled: true

cloud:
  aws:
    region:
      static: ap-southeast-1
    stack:
      auto: false

aws:
  paramstore:
    name: appname
    prefix: /secret/team/domain
    region: ap-southeast-1
    enabled: true

Additional Questions:

1. Is is needed to add io.awspring.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-aws? Nevertheless, I have added it, but still not working.
2. How should aws-parameterstore: be configured when I need only some specific parameters? Let's say I have 2 parameters: /secret/team/domain/appname/secret.name & /secret/team/domain/appname/secret.value. Can it be configured like this?

spring:
   config:
     import:
       - "aws-parameterstore:/secret/team/domain/appname/secret.name;/secret/team/domain/appname/secret.value"

NOTE: I have read the documentation here. But it is still not clear.

Anyways, should I put aws.paramstore.* definition in boostrap.yml file instead?

Edit: I have done it. I even added bootstrap dependency, but still not working.

Found the root cause. The dependency should have been io.awspring.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-aws-parameter-store-config. My bad.
