I'm at a real loss on this one. I've been attempting to get my application running with a replica set in Kubernetes for awhile. I'm setting: spring.data.mongodb.uri=${MYAPP_MONGODB}:mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp in application.properties and using Spring Data to access my objects.

Locally using a local MongoDB container it works fine even if I set the env var to my remote databases locally I can connect to them and work just fine. But when I put the value of MYAPP_MONGODB into k8s secrets when the container boots I get quoted error from the title. The value is like this:

mongodb://myuser:mypasswd@1.1.1.1:27017,2.2.2.2:27017,3.3.3.3:27017,4.4.4.4:27017,5.5.5.5:27017/myapp

I reviewed the source and still baffled as to why this is happening. Pulling the secret from the k8s environment it is correct.

Any help is much appreciated!
