Cannot load driver class: org.h2.Driver

Question

I have a spring boot application being built with Gradle. This project has been sitting for a bit and I'm now resurrecting it and updating all of the versions and I've run into an issue when running my application from inside intelliJ.

Here is my complete stack trace per request.

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceConfiguration$Hikari.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: org.h2.Driver

I googled and found many stackoverflow entries for this particular error, but none seem to help. Here is my current application.yml.

spring:
  profiles: dev

  datasource:
      url: jdbc:h2:mem:test
      username: sa
      password: sa
      driverClassName: org.h2.Driver

And it appears to know that I am running my dev profile, because changes to this section are reflected in the next run.

I have the following line in my build.gradle

// other test dependencies
testImplementation 'com.h2database:h2:1.4.200'

I have also tried this as:

implementation (
        'org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.1-api:1.0.2.Final',
        'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.12',
        'net.sf.dozer:dozer:5.5.1',
        'com.h2database:h2:1.4.200'
)

but that got me nowhere.

Of interest is that IntelliJ is reporting an error in my application.yml on the driverClassName

When I click on this to get suggestions, it suggests `Add library 'Gradle: com.h2database:h2:1.4.200'. So intelliJ is finding my jar file and the class, but somehow it's not connecting it to my spring boot runtime.

Out of ideas of what to try next.

Answer 1

您已在测试范围 ( ) 中添加了 H2 依赖项testImplementation，这意味着它仅适用于测试，不适用于普通应用程序。如果您希望 H2 可用于您的应用程序而不仅仅是您的测试，请将其添加到正常范围 ( implementation)。

当您使用 IntelliJ 时，请确保重新导入/刷新 Gradle 构建（修改文件后，IntelliJ 将在右上角显示一个悬停图标来执行此操作）。
