Error when importing maven dependency

Question

I am working on a spring boot application and i am not able to import the security test above .

I have this dependency . the word with red line in import is "test"

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 1

You're getting the error as Maven trying to fetch a dependency that has no LATEST or RELEASE version; you have to define a very specific version. This should work.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.8.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Here is Maven Repository

By the way, I tried this on my project and it works for me.
