Spring boot application fails after start - An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location

I'm new in Spring Boot, I'm trying to build a simple application with REST Api, and I'm getting this error immediately when starting the app:

Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.
2021-01-24 20:08:19.505 ERROR 11344 --- [  restartedMain] o.s.b.d.LoggingFailureAnalysisReporter   : 

***************************
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.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.requestMappingHandlerAdapter(WebMvcAutoConfiguration.java:369)

The following method did not exist:

    'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.requestMappingHandlerAdapter(org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManager, org.springframework.format.support.FormattingConversionService, org.springframework.validation.Validator)'

The method's class, org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/user/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-webmvc/5.1.3.RELEASE/spring-webmvc-5.1.3.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.class

The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

    org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration: file:/C:/Users/user/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-webmvc/5.1.3.RELEASE/spring-webmvc-5.1.3.RELEASE.jar
    org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurationSupport: file:/C:/Users/user/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-webmvc/5.1.3.RELEASE/spring-webmvc-5.1.3.RELEASE.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration


Process finished with exit code 0

I did not finish yet with the development of the app, but I can't go on because of this errors.

There are my classes so far:

One entity for now:

@Entity
public class User {
    @Id

application.properties:

#h2

spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect
spring.h2.console.enabled=true

The application class:

package com.example.micro1;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Micro1Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Micro1Application.class, args);
    }

}

Please tell me if there is something else that I should write here... Thanks!

I had this same issue when I run a Spring Boot Application of Web. But I got following error messages:

***************************
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.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.configureHandlerExceptionResolvers(WebMvcAutoConfiguration.java:519)

The following method did not exist:

    org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.addDefaultHandlerExceptionResolvers(Ljava/util/List;)V

The method's class, org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/Users/itzhouq/dev/mavne_repository/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-autoconfigure/2.1.6.RELEASE/spring-boot-autoconfigure-2.1.6.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class

It was loaded from the following location:

    file:/Users/itzhouq/dev/mavne_repository/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-autoconfigure/2.1.6.RELEASE/spring-boot-autoconfigure-2.1.6.RELEASE.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration

This may be spring-boot-autoconfigure's exception, so I have checked the dependency of it:

org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-web:2.2.1.RELEASE-->
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter:2.2.1.RELEASE -->
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-autoconfigure:2.2.1.RELEASE(omitted for conflict with 2.1.6.RELEASE).

Obviously, the autoconfigure was failing because of a version conflict. To solve this problem, I have added the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-autoconfigure</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I've confirmed this dependency had been added in the module and I've rerun the application.

Even I have got a similar error

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

org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.HttpSecurityConfiguration.httpSecurity(HttpSecurityConfiguration.java:112)

The following method did not exist:

'void org.springframework.security.web.context.request.async.WebAsyncManagerIntegrationFilter.setSecurityContextHolderStrategy(org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolderStrategy)'

I checked for the same method setSecurityContextHolderStrategy inside WebAsyncManagerIntegrationFilter class in the Spring Docs site, Its still not updated here link. Then I went into source code of class file WebAsyncManagerIntegrationFilter in Github link and realised that the method was added inside the class since verison 5.8 of Spring.

And when I went to see the Spring Security dependency version in my application it was 5.7.8. So I had to upgrade my Spring security dependency to 5.8 or above to solve this.

My error was based on the fact that org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure had problems accessing a library that was located in org.springframework.beans, so I added the following dependency to my pom.xml and the problem was solved.

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
 <version>5.3.18</version>
</dependency>

Add one more dependency is Spring-webMVC because spring web MVC is using for deploying your project

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>5.3.3</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
 </dependency

Your starter spring-boot-starter-web contains inside itself these dependencies

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
  <version>5.3.3</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
  <version>5.3.3</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

besides, you add in your pom.xml that:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.3.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

so, when you'll start your application you have in classpath ambiguity. I think it's cause of your problem. Spring Boot starters save you the trouble of specifying explicitly declare dependency. Try to remove spring-webmvc dependency.
