ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to implement a POC in spring dataflow. I am using "spring-cloud-starter-dataflow-server-local" dependency to create dataflow server in local. But it is giving below error :
ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.<init>([Ljava/lang/Object;)V

<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
And I have very basic java file to launch the app
#EnableDataFlowServer
#SpringBootApplication
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(App.class,args);
}
}
I think the error might be due to version compatibility issues between dataflow server-local and spring boot, but I am not able to find the correct version.
I have also searched in https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-dataflow/releases, but spring-cloud-starter-dataflow-server-local is not given here.
Please help me with correct version matrix.

Answer 1

You are using Spring Cloud Data Flow release - Edgware.SR4. Its Compatible with Spring Boot 1.5.14.
For Example: Hoxton.SR8 (spring cloud version) compatible with 2.3.3.RELEASE(spring boot)
Reference: https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-dataflow/releases?after=v1.7.4.RELEASE
You are getting the above Exception, because you did not add the spring cloud dependencyMangement block. But you need a dependency management block for spring cloud (this block is required for a spring cloud technologies - bunch of technologies like spring cloud ribbon, spring cloud zuul & so on).
Add this also,
<properties>
<java.version>8</java.version>
<spring-cloud.version>Hoxton.SR8</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
I recommend you create a spring boot project using start.spring.io, add required dependencies, choose your spring boot required version, which gives spring cloud compatible versions, instead of manually selecting on your own.
Note:
you can check all the compatible versions(spring boot & spring cloud data flow) in the same page by scrolling down & using next button
