Neo4j Can not set java.lang.Long field model.Authority.id to model.Authority - spring-boot

Question

I'm trying to get Neo4j working, but I end up getting this errror when either trying to get an entity, or persist one, and cannot figure it out.

And all I'm trying to do is save an Authority
Authority authAdmin = new Authority();
authAdmin.setName(AuthoritiesConstants.ADMIN);
authAdmin = authorityRepository.save(authAdmin);

Answer 1

I had the very same issue on Spring Boot 2.0.0 M6. Got it to work by reverting to 2.0.0 M5.
Beware that M4 has a different issue, but M3 works too (although I see no reason to go back any further than M5)
