Description

Hi,

I am getting a similar error as reported in issue #1393. Moving to 2.1.3.RELEASE doesn't seem to have resolved the bug completely - or maybe i'm missing something else. Please advice. Below is the stack error stack i get.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No HttpServletRequest available

I've attached the sample project which replicated this error
vault-config-server.zip

thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the attached vault-config-server.zip sample and read the stack-trace entry points HttpRequestConfigTokenProvider.getToken and VaultEnvironmentRepository.read/findOne. Trace why startup reaches these methods without an HttpServletRequest. Done means the embedded Cloud Config Server starts and uses Vault without the IllegalStateException.
