Spring Boot Error creating bean with name 'optionalLiveReloadServer'

Question

So I used spring initalizr to jump start my application. I am trying to run a simple test by calling an api which will call a service method to return a string. When I ping the url I get the following exception stack trace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Scope registered for scope name 'restart'

This is the application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.*")
public class DebtCheckApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DebtCheckApplication.class, args);
    }

}

This is the context factory class:

public class ContextFactory {

private static final ApplicationContext CONTEXT = new 
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(DebtCheckApplication.class);


public static ApplicationContext getContext() {
    return CONTEXT;
}


}

And this is the api class:

@Controller
@RestController
@RequestMapping("api")

public class mainApi {
    @Autowired
    private Environment environment;

    @RequestMapping(value = "test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<String> getName() throws Exception{

        System.out.println("api works");

        mainService serv = (mainService) ContextFactory.getContext().getBean("mainServ");

        String name = serv.getName();

        return new ResponseEntity<String>(name, HttpStatus.OK);

       }
    }

Answer 1

In SpringBoot application, you don't need ContextFactory.getContext().getBean("mainServ") to get bean, add @Service to the service implement class.
And in controller remove @Controller, @RestController = @Controller + @ResponseBody, and remove @ComponentScan("com.*") too, springboot wil auto scan
