Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' at

Question

I am working on a Spring Boot Batch example with MongoDB and I have already started the mongod server.

When I launch my application, I am getting the error below.

Any pointers for this issue?

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured.

Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class


Action:

Consider the following:
    If you want an embedded database (H2, HSQL or Derby), please put it on the classpath.
    If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile you may need to activate it (no profiles are currently active).

application.properties:

# Mongo database URI. Cannot be set with host, port and credentials.
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost/test

Answer 1

I have add this annotation on the main class of my spring boot application and everything work perfectly

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })

Answer 2

It's happening because the @valerio-vaudi said.

Your problem is the dependency of spring batch spring-boot-starter-batch that has a spring-boot-starter-jdbc transitive maven dependency.

But you can resolve it set the primary datasource with your configuration

 @Primary
 @Bean(name = "dataSource")
 @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
 public DataSource getDataSource() {
      return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
 }

 @Bean
 public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate(DataSource dataSource) {
      return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
 }

Answer 3

Just add : @SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class }) works for me.

I was getting same error I tried with @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude=...) didn't work.

Answer 4

Excluding the DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class worked for me:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })

Answer 5

I had the same issue resolved by add <scope>provided</scope>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
