无法在IntelliJ Idea中启动spring-boot应用程序

Question

Overview

I can run the application by using maven plugin of spring-boot but not run it with the IDE. The following lines give some detail about my program.

The application class is as follows:

package com.blss.retailServices.dataExportRouter;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.velocity.VelocityAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { VelocityAutoConfiguration.class })
public class DataExportRouterApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication.run(DataExportRouterApplication.class, args);
    }
}

The exception stack trace is as follows:

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start EmbeddedWebApplicationContext due to missing EmbeddedServletContainerFactory bean.

I used @SpringbootApplication but to no avail.

Question

So I would appreciate it if anyone could help me solve this issue.

Answer 1

I am guessing you have a war packaging project with Maven and you've flagged your servlet engine (tomcat) as provided.

Unfortunately, IntellIJ IDEA does not add provided dependencies in the runtime classpath , that's why your project does not work when you run it from the IDE.

UPDATE 7/30/2019

As per Giorgio:

They have added a checkbox in the Application Run Configuration to "Include dependencies with 'Provided' scope"
