java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error processing condition on org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.audit.AuditAutoConfiguration

Question

I am trying to write a small hello world program and packaging it with war. I am using maven and writing a SpringBoot App to do this.

Here is my Application.java file

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;


@SpringBootApplication
@RestController
public class Application {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
    
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public String hello(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) {
        return String.format("Hello %s!", name);
    }
    
}

While building it I am getting error :

Can anybody suggest what is going wrong here and why am I getting this error. Help is appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

It's can be related with error in application.properties or bootstrap.yml too. For me it was incorrect setting "management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*". I was converting config from "yml" format to "properties" and forgot to remove the apostrophes around the asterisk. It was

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include='*'

but it should be

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
