flyway with spring boot and gradle--org.flywaydb.core.Flyway: method <init>()V not found - spring-boot

Question

I have a spring boot project with gradle and using postgres db. I want to test by using flyway for database migrations. I am facing below error. My build.gradle and application.properties are also given below. Please help me with this error. I believe this is something to do with set up but not the actual code.
Error:

Answer 1

Yes, I also upgrade my version of the flyway from 5.2.4 to 7.0.0 and catch the same error.
To resolve this issue I downgrade the flyway version to 6.5.0 and it works now!

Answer 2

Try another version of flyway (older) or remove version if it possible in Gradle (It helps for me with maven).
