Spring Boot 2 fails starting due to Hystrix?

Question

I started investigating to migrate a Spring Boot application from 1.5.x to 2. This appliication has a dependency to hystrix, which does not be compatible to Spring Boot 2 yet. When I have the following in my pom:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-hystrix</artifactId>
  <version>1.4.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I get the following error when starting the application:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.<init>([Ljava/lang/Object;)V
    at org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.bootstrapServiceContext(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:125)

Anybody has experienced the same? Is there a solution yet?

Answer 1

For SpringBoot 2.0 version artifactID has been changed. Old dependency is

     <dependency>
          <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
          <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-hystrix</artifactId>
          <version>${spring-hystrix.version}</version>
     </dependency>

Use this new updated dependency with latest version

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.8.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

for recent release version you can check MVNrepository

Answer 2

I have faced similar issue while integrating hystrix for my spring boot microservice that uses spring boot 2.0.x. Instead of

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-hystrix</artifactId>
    <version>${spring-hystrix.version}</version>
</dependency>

I have moved to

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix</artifactId>
    <version>${spring-hystrix.version}</version>
</dependency>

Spring boot 2.0.x application starts fine with the spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix dependency without this issue.
