Spring boot Field required a bean of type that could not be found

I'm going through the JPA starter tutorial for spring boot am struggling. I know the question has been asked sometimes here ('Field required a bean of type that could not be found.' error spring restful API using mongodb)

But those problems are a bit different from what I have.

Structure

java
  |
  helloWorld
  |
  web/ -- HelloWorldController
  Application
  Customer
  CustomerRepository
  ServletInitializer

As you can see all my packages related to JPA are on the same level as my Application file . According to the tutorial (https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-jpa/) this should work

My Application class

package helloWorld;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    @Autowired
    CustomerRepository customerRepository;

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(Application.class);
    }
}

CustomerRepository

package helloWorld;


import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

import java.util.List;

public interface CustomerRepository extends CrudRepository<Customer, Long> {

    List<Customer> findByLastName(String lastName);
}

When trying to use @Autowired I receive

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Field customerRepository in helloWorld.Application required a bean of type 'helloWorld.CustomerRepository' that could not be found.


Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'helloWorld.CustomerRepository' in your configuration.

Also, adding scanBasePackages={"helloWorld"}) to @SpringBootApplication does not help and from what I read it should also not be needed.

You are excluding the autoconfiguration of JPA repositories. Remove the line from application.properties to let Spring make CustomerRepository a bean and configure it.

spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration

In my case, I just forgot to add @Component to Impl class of interface!

These errors may be due to absence of one or more stereotype annotations.

I changed this Class Level Annotation from my Application Class.

From:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })

To:

@SpringBootApplication
