Spring BeanCreationException : Bean instantiation via factory method failed nested exception - spring

Question

I'm getting start with Spring and I'm trying to build an app using Security, Hibernate and Thymleaf.
I have this error that stuck me for days.
Here are the logs :
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: public com.nickeed.ServiceInterface.UserServiceInterface com.nickeed.controller.UserController.UserServiceInterface; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userServiceImpl': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: protected com.nickeed.repository.UserRepository com.nickeed.ServiceImpl.UserServiceImpl.userRepository; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not an managed type: class com.nickeed.model.User

If you need any information don't hesitate :)

Answer 1

Please make sure you have the correct packages to scan in your entity manager.
entityManagerFactory.setPackagesToScan(
env.getProperty("entitymanager.packagesToScan")
);
are you sure the correct path has been set here. Not sure what entity manger is and are you setting the path to scan

Answer 2

if your application if there is any baseClass defined then try to use
entityManagerFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(new String[]{BaseEntity.class.getPackage().getName()});
