I Keep getting this same issue running my Spring Boot project, trying to connect to MySQL using Spring Data JPA. It says something about "Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.service.spi.ServiceException: Unable to create requested service [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.env.spi.JdbcEnvironment]". Not sure what that means. Tried looking at other answered questions on here but couldn't figure it out. Any ideas?
The error is:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean
with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path
resource[org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/
HibernateJpaAutoConfigura ion.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested
exception is
org.hibernate.service.spi.ServiceException: Unable to create requested service
[org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.env.spi.JdbcEnvironment]
Says Caused by:
Caused by: org.hibernate.service.spi.ServiceException: Unable to create
requested service [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.env.spi.JdbcEnvironment]
Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Access to DialectResolutionInfo
cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set
