Spring JOOQ generation partly fails

Question

I'm new to JOOQ and having a problem generating the classes. I have the following Spring configuration pom.xml

When I run mvn clean install -P mysql it connects to the database and generates a bunch of classes under the jooq folder as configured. However after that i see a ton of errors like:

[ERROR] /Users/petervandeput/Documents/Development/test/try/jooq/com/knodeit/jooq/domain/tables/records/BookRecord.java:[76,25] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol:   method get(int)

Can someone provide a 100% working pom.xml that connects to a schema on MySql and generates as it should?

Answer 1

Your generated code targets jOOQ 3.8 (where there is a Record.get(int) method, for instance).

In your dependencies, you're referencing jOOQ 3.7, though, which doesn't have this method yet.

Your jOOQ code generator version and your jOOQ runtime version must match. There are two solutions to this:

1. Remove the reference to version 3.7.4 from your dependencies, and use the version referenced from Spring Boot, instead
2. Explicitly set version 3.7.4 also as your code generation version (you currently omitted it)
