Error creating bean with name 'liquibase' defined in class path resource ... /config/DatabaseConfiguration.class

Question

I have this annoying error when starting Embedded Tomcat on my jHipster Project. Spent a lot of time trying to resolve it but can't figure out why it's happening. It started happening after updating project from main rep but I also implemented Custom Repository.

Stack Trace:

Answer 1

It is a known fact that Liquibase writes all changelogs into a table named as databasechangelog in your database as:

The root of all Liquibase changes is the databaseChangeLog file.

When I had the similar error occuring, I solved it manually by altering the checksum value in the databasechangelog table in my database. You can solve it by running the following SQL query in your database:

UPDATE `databasechangelog` SET `MD5SUM`=`7:bde7b076d47aefe8278d126cde26b172` WHERE `ID`=`00000000000001`;

ANOTHER WORKAROUND

Truncate the databasechangelog table. Add no-liquibase in appropriate place in the pom.xml file as below:

<properties>
    <spring.profiles.active>local,no-liquibase</spring.profiles.active>
</properties>

And then run mvn (or mvnw, as per your project settings) and the application will be launched successfully!
