No ServerProperties registered in AspectJ - spring

Question

I am trying to create an advice that will be executed around all the public methods. This is my aspect, point cut expression is being referred from Spring Docs
#Aspect
#Component
public class SomeAspect {
private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
log.warn("postconstruct");
}
#Pointcut("execution(public * *(..))")
private void anyPublicOperation() {}
#Before("anyPublicOperation()")
public void logBefore() {
log.info("#Before");
}
}
I receive the following stack trace
2018-07-10 12:24:29.465 WARN 18748 --- [ main] ationConfigEmbeddedWebApplicationContext : Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/EmbeddedServletContainerAutoConfiguration$EmbeddedTomcat.class]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No ServerProperties registered

I am currently making a spring boot application and the class containing the main method has the #EnableAspectJAutoProxy annotation.
Edit 1:
The project is uploaded here

Answer 1

I am not a Spring (Boot) user, but when running the MCVE to me it looks like Spring Boot tries to apply your aspect to some of its own components. Just limit the scope of the pointcut to your own packages. For me this works:
execution(public * some.example..*(..))
Or maybe you like this one better:
within(some.example..*) && execution(public * *(..))
I also noticed in your POM that you use org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-aop:2.0.3.RELEASE but set the parent POM to org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:1.5.14.RELEASE. You should harmonise that and use the same version.

Answer 2

Please edit:
#Pointcut("execution(public * *(..))");
