JHipster Microservice Maven Build Failure (Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE)

Question

I'm trying to build a JHipster Microservice using Maven, but whenever I use a profile other than Dev I just get the following error message

Failed to instantiate [org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties$DataSourceBeanCreationException: Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE

JHipster 4.5.1

Running my dev profile from IntelliJ works fine and connects to the database. Running Maven build against the dev profile also works fine. It's just when I switch to another one I get the below full stack trace.

Do I need to include the jdbc driver in the project somewhere?

I've had a look at the following links that report similar problems, but their solutions didn't seem to make a difference to me (or I just didn't understand them);

Thanks for any help you can give.

I've also tried adding the following dependency to the Pom.xml

                <dependency>
                    <groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
                    <artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
                    <version>6.1.0.jre8</version>
                </dependency>

Answer 1

I recently had this problem, I accidently deleted the

<driver>

tag from my pom

it must be set, mine looks like:
