Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
    at java.sql.DriverManager.getDriver(DriverManager.java:278) ~[na:1.7.0_45]
    at com.zaxxer.hikari.util.DriverDataSource.<init>(DriverDataSource.java:52) ~[HikariCP-java6-2.3.5.jar:na]

Answer 1

This line from documentation was the reason.

When using this property with "old" drivers, you may also need to set the driverClassName property, but try it first without.

The minute i did setup the driverClassName explicitly it started working.
