Spring batch reader complain about resource

Question

I've got the below error when I try to start spring boot application. It gives an error even before I provide my job parameter which is a parameter for my job.

Lot of discussion suggest to use resource as file:#{jobParameters[controlFileInput]} to solve this. But it's not working for me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I found the issue here.issue was SpringApplication.run execute the job before I launch the job. So, its without job param. set spring.batch.job.enabled=false solved the issue.
