So, in the case that you need to load values that way, you need to use a properties file.
Using the multi YAML document syntax in profile-specific YAML files can lead to unexpected behavior.
For example, consider the following config in a file called `application-dev.yml`, with the `dev` profile being active:
For example, consider the following config in a file:
.application-dev.yml
[source,yaml,indent=0]
----
server:
port: 8000
---
spring:
profiles: !test
profiles: "!test"
security:
user:
password: weak
password: "secret"
----
In the example above, profile negation and profile expressions will not behave as expected.
We recommend that you don't combine profile-specific YAML files and multiple YAML documents and stick to using only one of them.
If you run the application with the arguments `--spring.profiles.active=dev" you might expect `security.user.password` to be set to "`secret`", but this is not the case.
The nested document will be filtered because the main file is named `application-dev.yml`.
It is already considered to be profile-specific, and nested documents will be ignored.
TIP: We recommend that you don't mix profile-specific YAML files and multiple YAML documents.
