An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist: ContainerProperties.setAckOnError()

Question

I am developping a simple spring boot application using spring cloud stream and kafka.

I get this error when I added kafka consumer bean.

Spring boot version: 2.5.0

Spring cloud version: 2020.0.3-SNAPSHOT

Kafka client version: 2.7.1

Error log:

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

org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.kafka.KafkaMessageChannelBinder.createConsumerEndpoint(KafkaMessageChannelBinder.java:716)

The following method did not exist:

org.springframework.kafka.listener.ContainerProperties.setAckOnError(Z)V

Spring Cloud Stream 3.1.x is not currently compatible with Boot 2.5.
