Problems with liquibase when starting the Spring Boot application - spring-boot

Question

I have a Spring Boot application with liquibase, the first time I had no problems creating the tables but when I start it again I am having a problem that I cannot solve.
This is the error:
Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.
2021-03-21 12:22:27.294 ERROR 8828 --- [ main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication : Application run failed

I have tried the following but have not been able to solve the problem:
-> Empty databasechangelog and databasechangeloglock tables
-> Change mysql version in pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>8.0.22</version>
</dependency>
-> mvn clean
But nothing I've tried has fixed the problem. How can I solve this to start the application without problems?

This is a known issue with Spring-Boot 2.4.3. Check it out: https://github.com/liquibase/liquibase/issues/1639
You can either use Spring-Boot 2.4.2 (that's what I did) or you can update Liquibase to version 4.3.1.
