Migration guide missing crucial change

[sanderino666]

Hi guys,

We are trying out the Spring Boot migration from 1.5.9 to 2.0.0.M7 and we noticed a change in the documentation which isn't mentioned in the migration guide but is actually pretty substantial and worthy of mentioning.

Spring boot 1.5.9
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-application-property-files

When custom config locations are configured, they are used in addition to the default locations

Spring boot 2.0.0
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-application-property-files

When custom config locations are configured by using spring.config.location, they replace the default locations

It took us a while to figure out why our properties from the classpath aren't loaded when setting the spring.config.location so I would imagine other people will encounter the same problem.

BTW: Looking forward to the RC1 :). Spring boot rocks!

Regards,

Sander

It is actually described in the release notes for M6

The migration guide is still in progress. Duplicate of #10313
