Spring Boot App – Fails to bootRun

build.gradlegradlespringspring-bootspring-cloud

I am trying to create a simple Spring Boot application using Gradle in Mac.
On gradle bootRun, I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ':bootRun'.

    Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Exception raised at:

The build.gradle looks like below:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
        maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT")
        classpath("io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:0.5.2.RELEASE")
    }
}
apply plugin: 'java'
//apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
apply plugin: "io.spring.dependency-management"

//sourceCompatibility = 1.5
version = '1.0'
jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Implementation-Title': 'Gradle Quickstart',
                   'Implementation-Version': version
    }
    baseName = 'myApp'
    version =  '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

}

repositories {
    //mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
    maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
    maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/release/" }
}

dependencyManagement {
     imports {
          mavenBom 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-aws:1.0.2.RELEASE'
     }
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    compile("org.springframework:spring-jdbc")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc")
    compile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-aws")
    compile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-aws-jdbc")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-undertow")
    compile("postgresql:postgresql:9.0-801.jdbc4")

    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
    compile group: 'commons-collections', name: 'commons-collections', version: '3.2'
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+'
}

Any help over here?

Best Answer

Cause of the exception is EC2 environment configuration is not defined in the configuration file. Since you are running this application on a local machine I assume you don't need it.

Solution

Remove the following from your gradle file and see if everything is normal.

compile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-aws")
compile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-aws-jdbc")

The above mentioned dependencies are only applicable to spring application designed to run in EC2 environment.

Hope this helps.
