Application Fails to start with Springboot RC2

Question

Upgrading from spring boot RC1 to spring boot RC2 is breaking builds on multiple projects. I decided to post here before raising an issue. We looked through release notes and don't see any changes we needed to make other than actuator configuration.

Looking at this commit it appears maybe a new Milestone release of Spring cloud streams is needed https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/commit/43ea0461ee16e1ee6f250ece8c82f323f2aef2ae

Using These Versions

kotlinVersion=1.2.21
springBootVersion=2.0.0.RC2
springCloudVersion=Finchley.M6
springCloudStreamsVersion=Elmhurst.M4

we are getting this error

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'configurationPropertiesBeans' defined in org.springframework.cloud.autoconfigure.ConfigurationPropertiesRebinderAutoConfiguration: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.cloud.context.properties.ConfigurationPropertiesBeans]: Factory method 'configurationPropertiesBeans' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: BINDER_BEAN_NAME

Answer 1

EDIT

On 2nd of March, 2018 Spring Cloud Finchley M8 is released. https://spring.io/blog/2018/03/02/spring-cloud-finchley-m8-is-available

From release notes:

Finchley.M8 is compatible with Spring Boot 2.0.0.RELEASE

Finchley.M8 is the solution for springboot2.0.0.rc2 and for springboot2.0.0.RELEASE also

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    <spring-cloud.version>Finchley.M8</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>

OLD SOLUTION

If you use the latest version for spring cloud (Finchley.BUILD-SNAPSHOT) it will fix the issue.

Probably they will release a new version soon.

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    <spring-cloud.version>Finchley.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>
