Exception trying to @Autowire a @Component

I get a NoSuchBeanDefinitionException when I try to autowire a component 

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.github.robertobatts.restapi.repository.OrderRepository' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}

This is the code where I try to autowire: 

@CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/order", produces = "application/json")
public class OrderController {

    @Autowired
    private OrderRepository repository;

...

}

and this is the component:

@Component
public class OrderRepository extends InMemoryRepository<Order> {

    @Override
    protected void updateIfExists(Order original, Order updated) {
        original.setDescription(updated.getDescription());
        original.setCostInCents(updated.getCostInCents());
        original.setComplete(updated.isComplete());
    }

}

All the objects used by OrderRepository are standard java objects with no spring annotations.

Here is the structure of the packages:

restapi
    SpringBootApplication.java
    controller
        OrderController.java
    repository
        OrderRepository.java

Please move your @SpringBootApplication annotated class one package level up.

The annotation itself contains @ComponentScan and ...

If specific packages are not defined, scanning will occur from the package of the class that declares this annotation.

Source: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/context/annotation/ComponentScan.html

These changes on 34ced93 gave me the expected stdout line using mvn clean spring-boot:run.
