[FIXED] org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'brightspotService'

Issue

Spring boot application works fine on my local but when I deploy it to K8s it shows error. Some context below:

Controller:

@RestController
@RequestMapping(path = "/v1/brightspot")
@AllArgsConstructor(onConstructor_ = {@Autowired})
@CrossOrigin
public class BrightspotController {

  @Autowired
  protected BrightspotService brightspotService;

  /**
   * Hello world.
   *
   * @return the hello world
   */
  @GetMapping(value = "/helloWorld", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
  @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
  public String getHelloWorld() {
    return "Hello, World!!";
  }
  .
  .
  <more_methods>
  }

Service:

@Service
@NoArgsConstructor
public class BrightspotService {

  public static final String DISPLAY_IMAGE_URL = "displayImageUrl";
  public static final String AUTHOR_IMAGE_URL = "authorImageUrl";
  public static final String URL = "url";

  private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BrightspotService.class);

  @Autowired
  protected BrightspotHelper brightspotHelper;

  /**
   * Get all articles via site search.
   *
   * @return response
   */
    public SearchResultModel getAllArticles() throws Exception {
    log.info("Received getAllArticles request");
    try {
      // TODO: Store searchResults in cache with expiry time of max 5 minutes
      String searchResults = brightspotHelper.makeBrightspotRequest(
          BrightspotHelper.SITE_SEARCH_URI, BrightspotHelper.SITE_SEARCH_QUERY);
      JSONObject searchResultsObj =
          brightspotHelper.appendImageUrl(new JSONObject(searchResults));
      SearchResultModel searchResultModel =
          ObjectMapperUtils.mapJson(searchResultsObj.toString(), SearchResultModel.class);

      log.info("Response {}", searchResultsObj.toString());
      return searchResultModel;
    } catch (Exception e) {
      log.warn(e.getMessage(), e);
      throw new Exception(e);
    }
  }
  .
  .
  <more-methods>

Helper:

@Component("BrightspotHelper")
@NoArgsConstructor
public class BrightspotHelper {

  private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BrightspotHelper.class);
   
  .
  .
  <more-methods>
}

I also added qualifiers for service and helper class but was still having the same error.

Solution

You are missing a that contains org.springframework.boot.configurationprocessor.json.JSONObject.

That is what the exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/boot/configurationprocessor/json/JSONObject is telling you.

You either are missing a dependency or included to wrong version.
