@Configuration

public class DataSourceConfig {

    @Bean(destroyMethod = "shutdown")
    public DataSource dataSource(){
        EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder databaseBuilder = new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder();
        databaseBuilder.setType(EmbeddedDatabaseType.H2);

        databaseBuilder.addScript("classpath:db/migration/V2__Add_Books.sql");
        return databaseBuilder.build();
    }

    @Bean
    public JpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter(){

        vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(true);
        vendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.H2);
        vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);

    }

    @Bean(name = "entityManagerFactory")
    public EntityManagerFactory managerFactory(){
    Properties jpaProperties = new Properties();
    jpaProperties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create-drop");

    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean managerFactoryBean = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();

}

That is my configuration class and my gradle build file is

buildscript {

        classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'jacoco'
apply plugin: 'org.sonarqube'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()

jar{
    group 'com.sammy'
    version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
}

dependencies {

    testCompile "junit:junit:${junitVersion}"
    testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-java:${cucumberVersion}"
    testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-junit:${cucumberVersion}"
    //testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-spring:${cucumberVersion}"

    compile "org.projectlombok:lombok:${lombokVersion}"
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {

    //compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb'
}

task wrapper(type :Wrapper){
    gradleVersion = '3.4.1'
}

While my gradle properties file is

swaggerVersion = 2.6.1
cucumberVersion = 1.2.5
lombokVersion = 1.16.14
jadiraVersion = 6.0.1.GA
hibernateVersion = 5.2.9.Final
springBootVersion = 1.5.2.RELEASE

This issue is, I want to use Java 8's LocalDate in my entity class but, this still doesn't work without throwing this error message:

Whether I add jadira core or spi library to my gradle build file, I still get the same error. SpringBoot uses spring-orm-4.3.7.RELEASE as is in the stacktrace then adding hibernate core version 5.2.9.FINAL upgrades it to that version. I've looked at almost all the different issues mentioned here but none deals with this version. I've also read through the hibernate current version document which says it should just work but it isn't for me so not sure why.

INFO 26648 --- [ main] org.hibernate.cfg.Environment : HHH000206: hibernate.properties not found. I changed the JpaTransactionManager to use the injected entityManagerFactory as one of those answers suggested but it still didn't work even after rebuilding the project with gradle and intellij. I looked at the Hibernate 5.2.9.FINAL docs and that method getProperties() no longer exists but inherited from entitiyManagerFactory. Also, most of the answers were done in xml config not the Java one as I've got up there and none of the answers described how to change it into a map in a java config situation rather than using the properties. When I drop hibiernates version to 5.1.x, that error message goes but the error message for the Java 8 LocalDate type is displayed which I found is because there's no support for Java's feature in that version of hibernate.

If you're getting this error when upgrading from gradle 3.x to 4.x, it has something to do with the way transitive Hibernate dependencies are resolved. I found that hibernate-entitymanager is now included in my dependencies.

Run gradle dependencyInsight --dependency hibernate to see your hibernate dependencies. If you have the now-deprecated hibernate-entitymanager in your project, exclude it.

In gradle 4.x, this can be done like

configurations.all {
    exclude(group: 'org.hibernate', module: 'hibernate-entitymanager')
}
