class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerPropertiesAutoConfiguration.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Question

Firstly I was working with spring-boot version 1.5.x and My application was working perfect. I upgraded to spring-boot 2.1.6 and having that error with spring-boot security.Here is my logcat

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [com.technohomes.user.UserApplication]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerPropertiesAutoConfiguration.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Here is what I changed I upgraded the gradle version to 5.5.1, spring-boot version to 2.1.6 and updated all the dependencies to latest as well.

Some resources pointed out that this class isn't available in spring-boot 2 but none of the alternate solution was provided

Here is my build.gradle h

please help me figure this out. Thanks

Answer 1

add bellow dependancy
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.cloud/spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Your dependencies are a bit of a mess. You are mixing jars of different version of both Spring Boot and Spring Cloud and use incompatible Spring Boot / Spring Cloud versions. The Spring Boot plugin (or rather the dependency plugin) will manage the Spring Boot and Spring Cloud dependencies for you.

Your dependencies should look something like this

dependencyManagement {
  imports {
    mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
  }
}

dependencies {

  compile group: 'org.thymeleaf.extras', name: 'thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity5'

  compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-web'
  compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-actuator'
  compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-security'

  compile group: 'org.springframework.cloud', name: 'spring-cloud-starter-eureka'
  compile group: 'org.springframework.cloud', name: 'spring-cloud-starter-zipkin'
  compile group: 'org.springframework.cloud', name: 'spring-cloud-starter-config'


  // Swagger for API testing
  compile("io.springfox:springfox-swagger2:${swagger2version}")
  compile("io.springfox:springfox-swagger-ui:${swagger2version}")
  testCompile("org.springframework.security:spring-security-test")
  testCompile group:  'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-test'

}

and you need the dependency management plugin (formerly part of the spring boot plugin).

apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

Answer 3

Exception is thrown when OpenFeign dependency is used

<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-openfeign</artifactId>

Switch to spring-cloud-starter-feign

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> 
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-feign</artifactId> 
    <version>1.4.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 4

Use this command find libdir -name "*.jar" -exec zipgrep "CLASS_NAME" '{}' \; to find where this class is used.

The command is taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/10331145/6204666

After you find the lib where your class is used, try to change version of the lib for proper one.

In my case the class 'ServerPropertiesAutoConfiguration' was used in ZuulServerAutoConfiguration class of spring-cloud.netflix-core lib
