kubernetes - Spring Boot Managing Properties File

Question

I am trying to revamp my microservice to maintain a single application yaml rather maintaining multiple profiles. Initially I was maintaining different profiles and the common configurations were repeated across the helm environment specific values yaml. Now the strategy is to move everything to values.yml and maintain environment specific values in config map. The problem I face is my application yml now looks very generic with placeholders and for the same reason the test runs fails as I cannot give a default value for each of the configurations in application.yml. The reason being, For Eg: mongodb cluster endpoint format is different in local to other environment. I managed to place a local specific yaml file under test/resources, but not sure it's the right approach. I need to anyway maintain a local specific yaml under main/resources for running locally. So essentially I am duplicating it under test resources as well. Is there any better way of pointing test to load the application-local.yml under main resources so that I can avoid the duplication or is there any better way of doing this as a whole?
