    Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured.

    Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class


    Action:

    Consider the following:
        If you want an embedded database (H2, HSQL or Derby), please put it on the classpath.
        If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile you may need to activate it (no profiles are currently active).

Answer 1

The problem is written Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class . Classloader can not find driver-class-name in you classpath. Maybe missing MySQL library definition in the maven / gradle configuration.

Maven:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>mysql</groupId>
            <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>

Gradle:

runtimeOnly 'mysql:mysql-connector-java'

If MySQL library is existed, try to change driver-class-name definition as below.

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

... instead of

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

Answer 2

Check your mysql-connector-java version jar if it's 5 it should be

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

if its 8 it should be

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

Also I don't think you should have spaces after equal sign where is your username and password

Answer 3

it works, just force to reload the maven dependency and is ok;

just warning to fix

See http.//www.slf4j.org/codes:html#multiple_bindings for an explanation. SLF4J. Actual binding is of type [ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextSelectorStaticBinder]

Answer 4

Try and remove the spring.datasource.class-name property from the config file. The url should be good enough to tell which classname is to be used.

Also set "logging.level.root=debug" in the properties to get some more details. See if that helps.
