[FIXED] Springboot 2.7.1 error: cannot find symbol @Lazy

Issue

I'm trying to fix a circular dependency in a legacy project.

    @Service
    @Slf4j
    public class FlowpathSubscriber {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("pubSubTemplate")
    private PubSubTemplate pubSubTemplate;

    @Autowired
    private FlowpathBigQueryProcessor flowpathBigQueryProcessor;

    @Value("${subscription}")
    private String subscription;

    @Autowired
    private ObjectMapper objectMapper;

    @Autowired
    @Lazy
    private SlackNotificationService slackNotificationService;

I added @Lazy to SlackNotificationService as it was causing a circular dependency issue. However adding @Lazy causes an error during Gradle compilation:

error: cannot find symbol @Lazy

Solution

Add:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Lazy;
