Spring boot 2.0.0.M1 NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.<init>

Question

I used the starter page on https://start.spring.io/ to generate a project with a number of included modules When I try to run the tests I get a lot of log info but these lines seem key

10:29:33.198 [main] DEBUG org.springframework.core.env.StandardEnvironment - Adding [Inlined Test Properties] PropertySource with highest search precedence
10:29:33.364 [main] DEBUG org.springframework.boot.context.logging.ClasspathLoggingApplicationListener - Application failed to start with classpath: [file:/C:/privilege/target/surefire/surefirebooter1615922581175854972.jar]
10:29:33.369 [main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application startup failed
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.<init>([Ljava/lang/Object;)V
    at  org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.bootstrapServiceContext(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:157)
    at org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.onApplicationEvent(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:98)
    at org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.onApplicationEvent(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:64)

The modules that I selected are:

• Security
• AOP
• Web Jersey (JAX-RS)
• Rest Repositories
• DevTools
• Cache
• Session
• Mobile
• REST
• Docs
• Thymeleaf
• MongoDB
• Zuul
• Zookeeper Discovery
• Solr
• Cloud
• OAuth2
• Lombok
• Retry

I had to make a few mods to the generated pom but I think that I have a reasonable set of versions. From the "effective pom" generated by STS, get the following properties:

Answer 1

The constructor of SpringApplicationBuilder has recently been changed in spring-boot 2.0.0.M1.

I had the same problem, but after updating to spring-cloud Finchley.BUILD-SNAPSHOT it disappeared. However, that's the version I see in your properties above.

In the end, I'm not exactly sure what causes your problem (and maybe shouldn't post this as an answer, but it's too long for a comment) but maybe that's a start for further investigation.

Since 2.0.0.M1 is not stable, you may want to wait for spring-boot 2.0.0 to be released. Otherwise, try deleting your local SNAPSHOT versions of spring. I'll update this answer if I figure out more.

Answer 2

Just check spring-cloud-starter server version compatibility with spring-boot-starter-parent. This will help and it will resolve

15:49:31.609 [main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.<init>([Ljava/lang/Object;)V

at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1265)

In my case I've resolved this using spring-boot-starter-parent version 2.0.5.RELEASE and spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server with version Finchley.SR1. Also added spring-cloud-starter-config dependencies with it.

Thanks and Hope It will help you.

Answer 3

<dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
                <version>Greenwich.RELEASE</version>
                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>import</scope>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

adding above tag for

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.4.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

resolved my problem, it's issue with spring - cloud and spring 2.1.x versions

Answer 4

Just complementing @Michel Jung's answer, I just needed to keep the spring-boot version as the same:

2.0.4.RELEASE

And add the Finchley.RELEASE's mavenBom as recommended here:

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Finchley.RELEASE"
    }
}

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone'
    }
}
