Move your classes into non default package structure like below:
before
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class, args);
}
}
after
package com.bettercoding.spring;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class, args);
}
}
![[SOLVED] – Spring Boot: Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the auto-configuration report re-run your application with ‘debug’ enabled.](https://better-coding.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/debug_auto_configuration_spring-300x113.jpeg)
This worked for me. Thanks !
This worked for me !
Perfect! Why does it not work?
What do you mean? What exactly doesn’t work?
if you put a @ComponentScan in the default package by mistake
Still work ! Thank’s
This worked for me. Thanks. Do you know the reason for not working in default package?
