springboot Upgrade from 2.3.5.RELEASE to 2.4.1- ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationBeanFactoryMetadata

Question

I am trying to upgrade my kotlin - gradle project from springboot version 2.3.5.RELEASE to 2.4.1. Looks like there is version mismatch between springboot-2.4.1 and sping-cloud-Hoxton.SR9.

build.gradle.kts snippet

    plugins {
        id("org.springframework.boot") version "2.4.1"
        id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.0.10.RELEASE"
    
        kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.10"
    kotlin("plugin.spring") version "1.4.10"
    kotlin("plugin.jpa") version "1.4.10"
    kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.4.10"

    idea
    }
    
    group = "com.xxx"
    version = ""

There is an official version of spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap available now, adding this solved the problem for me.

The resolution below helped me when updating to Spring Boot v2.5.6 (latest version as of 21 Oct, 2021 (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot/2.5.6 for more info):

I have updated spring cloud version in pom.xml

<spring-cloud.version>2020.0.4</spring-cloud.version>

Earlier I was using below version with Spring Boot < v2.3.0

<spring-cloud.version>Hoxton.SR5</spring-cloud.version>

According to https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud, you can try below.


<dependencyManagement>
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>

Adding a dependency management import with mavenBom fixed it for me

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-parent:Hoxton.SR10"
    }
}

There is a release train spring boot compatibility table available on spring official Page - Link

Which clearly outlines which version of Spring Cloud maps to which version of Spring Boot.

For Spring Boot Version 2.4.x, 2.5.x Spring Cloud 2020.0.x aka Ilford

Check out the Spring Cloud 2020.0 Release Notes for any known issues - Link

@spencergibb was near correct, but still I was getting same error. Along with @spencergibb's answer, I have added spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap dependency to make run it successfully.

extra["springCloudVersion"] = "2020.0.0"
val springCloudVersion = "2020.0.0"

implementation("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap")

I followed this link to make it work

I faced the same issue when I updated Springboot from 2.3.12.RELEASE to 2.5.*

After a lot of head breaking, I figured out that there is a transitive dependency spring-cloud-starter:2.0.0.RELEASE which is not compatible with Spring 2.4 and above.

Finally, it is fixed by updating Springboot version to 2.5.12 and overriden existing spring-cloud-starter version to 3.0.5

<parent>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.12</version>
  <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter</artifactId>
  <version>3.0.5</version>
</dependency>
