APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following 
location:


org.springframework.context.support.PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors
(PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.java:99)

The following method did not exist:

'org.springframework.core.metrics.ApplicationStartup org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory.getApplicationStartup()'

The method's class, org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory, is 
available from the following locations:

jar:file:/C:/Users/Claudio/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-beans/5.2.8.RELEASE/spring- 
beans- 
5.2.8.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/beans/factory/config/ConfigurableListableBeanFactory.class

The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory: 
file:/C:/Users/Claudio/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-beans/5.2.8.RELEASE/spring-beans- 
5.2.8.RELEASE.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of 
org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory

I don't know if i'm missing some config file or what, but i've already created the main class and method with the annotation SpringBootApplication and added the spring core dependency.

Answer 1

You have incompatible version of ConfigurableListableBeanFactory method .

Try adding the following in your pom.xml (if the dependency does not exist)

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

If you have the dependency , check whether it is same as Spring version

Edited

Go to C:/Users/Claudio/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context . Check if you have multiple versions of spring-context , like 5.2.8.RELEASE and other versions along with it. If you have too many versions, delete everything except the one with 2.3.2 . Because it seems, other version files are being read instead of the actual one.
