springboot Including devtools in Spring boot throws exception if DataSourceProperties is not initialized

I have noticed this error in Spring Boot 1.3.3 Release only. This wasn't the problem in 1.3.2 and prior. Following is the exception trace that started occurring now. FYI I am not using Spring Boot's method of creating JDBC datasource due to custom encryption around credentials. Instead there is a Spring configuration class that manually composes the instance of HikariCP DataSource.

@sachinwalia2k8 It looks like you must have excluded DataSourceAutoConfiguration. You can probably work around the problem by either adding @EnableConfigurationProperties(DataSourceProperties.class) to a configuration class of your own, or by removing the exclusion (your DataSource will cause the auto-configuration to back off anyway).

Comment From: sachin-walia

@wilkinsona - for now I have excluded devtools from my pom file and things are working. To me it seems like a regression as same code works without modification with 1.3.2 release. I will try the workaround you mentioned.

You are correct. The issue is already labelled as such. I was simply describing my understanding of what you must have done, and suggesting a couple of possible ways to avoid the problem while still being able to use Dev Tools.

Comment From: mandado

I have same error, how i can to solve this ?

Comment From: philwebb

@mandado The fix has not been released yet, you can try the snapshot build.

Comment From: mandado

@philwebb have any forecast for next release this fix ?

Comment From: philwebb

Not as yet no, we currently only have 15 issues resolved in 1.3.4.

Comment From: mandado

thanks :+1:

Comment From: sachin-walia

@mandado for now if you exclude devtools then it'd work. it's a pain though since class auto reloading will not work.

Comment From: wilkinsona

@mandado Please see my comment above for a couple of possible work arounds, both of which I think are preferable to removing DevTools.

Comment From: mmoayyed

We are also affected by this. Seems like per the schedule outlined here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/milestones , we can upgrade to 1.3.4 and the problem should go away, is that correct? 1.3.4 coming out today?

Comment From: wilkinsona

@mmoayyed It won't be today. We're waiting from Spring Framework 4.2.6 to be released. It's scheduled for tomorrow.

Comment From: mmoayyed

Excellent. Thanks.

Comment From: sing1ee

I had use these versions:

ext {
    springBootVersion = "1.3.4.RELEASE"
    springVersion = "4.2.6.RELEASE"
    jacksonVersion = "2.5.3"
    reactorVersion = '2.0.4.RELEASE'
}

but, I still got this error:

Comment From: philwebb

@sing1ee I wonder if your build isn't picking up the correct Spring Boot version. Check the output of gradle dependencies. If you're still getting the issue could you please raise a new issue and provide a project that replicates the problem.

Comment From: sing1ee

@philwebb Thank you. I found the springboot still depended the 4.2.5 spring~, not 4.2.6. Thank you.

Comment From: fxavier

I'm facing the same problem so how to fix it?

Comment From: wilkinsona

@fxavier The original problem described in this issue should be fixed in Spring Boot 1.3.4.RELEASE. If you're using 1.3.4 or later and still have this problem, please open a new issue with details of how to recreate it. A small sample project would be ideal.

Comment From: omeryounus

Hi, I have got the same error in 1.4.1 stable release. Is there any work around?

Comment From: wilkinsona

@omeryounus The original problem described in this issue should be fixed in Spring Boot 1.3.4.RELEASE. If you're using 1.4.1 and still have this problem, please open a new issue with details of how to recreate it. A small sample project would be ideal.

Comment From: anthony-coplo

Hi, I have got the same error in the 1.5.9 release.

how can i fix it ??

Comment From: wilkinsona

@gamerkilli Please see the comment immediately above yours. The same applies to 1.5.9.

Comment From: yasmine1996mira

i have the same error in the 2.1.14 release.

Comment From: wilkinsona

@yasmine1996mira Can you please open a new issue and provide us with a small sample project that reproduces the problem? You can do so by pushing it to a separate repository on GitHub or by zipping it up and attaching it to the issue that you create.
