Only happens when running as jar, otherwise this error is not present (when running from the IDE, in dev mode).

Did a quick inspection of the jar and the secret is not found anywhere in it, so the error makes sense I guess.

You have to provide it to your application.

3

so create a application.properties file containing the secret next to the jar file?

Yeah

Or you can provide it as an environment variable or system property if you don’t want to hard-code it in the jar IIRC
