Spring Cloud Netflix @Autowired on LoadBalancerClient is throwing error while starting the microservice

Previously I was using spring-cloud-netflix-ribbon:2.0.0.M8 and the below code was working fine.

import java.net.URI; import java.util.Objects;

import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.cloud.client.ServiceInstance; import org.springframework.cloud.client.loadbalancer.LoadBalancerClient; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component public class UriResolver {

private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(UriResolver.class);

private LoadBalancerClient loadBalancerClient;

@Autowired
public UriResolver(LoadBalancerClient loadBalancerClient) {
    this.loadBalancerClient = loadBalancerClient;
}

public URI getBaseUri(String vendorName) {
    ServiceInstance instance = loadBalancerClient.choose(vendorName);
    URI uri = null;
    if (!Objects.isNull(instance)) {
        uri = instance.getUri();
        LOGGER.debug("LoadBalancer Instance specific URI: " + instance.getUri());
        LOGGER.debug("LoadBalancer Instance specific ServiceId: " + instance.getServiceId());
        LOGGER.debug("LoadBalancer Instance specific Host: " + instance.getHost());
    }
    return uri;
}

}

Now i upgraded the spring cloud version from Finchley.M9 to Hoxton.SR8. Because of this the version of the Jar got upgraded to spring-cloud-netflix-ribbon:2.2.5.RELEASE . After the upgrade, i am getting the below error

Bean method 'loadBalancerClient' in 'RibbonAutoConfiguration' not loaded because AllNestedConditions 2 matched 2 did not; NestedCondition on RibbonAutoConfiguration.RibbonClassesConditions.RibbonPresent @ConditionalOnClass did not find required class 'com.netflix.ribbon.Ribbon'; NestedCondition on RibbonAutoConfiguration.RibbonClassesConditions.AsyncRestTemplatePresent @ConditionalOnClass found required class 'org.springframework.web.client.AsyncRestTemplate'; NestedCondition on RibbonAutoConfiguration.RibbonClassesConditions.RestTemplatePresent @ConditionalOnClass found required class 'org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate'; NestedCondition on RibbonAutoConfiguration.RibbonClassesConditions.IClientPresent @ConditionalOnClass did not find required class 'com.netflix.client.IClient'

My expectation was, since it is only the upgrade, the application should continue to work seamlessly. But it didnt work as expected.
