The following pom.xml has been working fine:

Soon I upgraded boot parent version to 2.1.4.RELEASE, things start breaking, saying cannot find aspectj

[ERROR] Error creating bean with name 'hystrixCommandAspect' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/netflix/hystrix/HystrixCircuitBreakerConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.netflix.hystrix.contrib.javanica.aop.aspectj.HystrixCommandAspect]: Factory method 'hystrixCommandAspect' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/aspectj/lang/JoinPoint: org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint -> [Help 1]

So yes, if I put in this, things are good again:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
            <version>1.9.3</version>
        </dependency>

My enquiry is not how to solve this particular problem, but should this manual dependency resolution expected ? I mean, for example, if later there is a Boot 2.2.0 release, one would expect some other similar resolution may be (or may be not) required for thing to work ? Or the dependency management should be already thought out and it's a case of something wrong from my environment ?

Thanks,

Did you update to Greenwich as well?

Comment From: tvdinh

@spencergibb Yes, I did. Tried both Greenwich.RELEASE and Greenwich.SR1. Same issue.

Comment From: Haybu

This issue is not reproducible. Boot 2.1.4.RELEASE + SC Finchley.RELEASE combination does not throw the above mentioned exception for me.

Comment From: spencergibb

Can you provide a complete, minimal, verifiable sample that reproduces the problem? It should be available as a GitHub (or similar) project or attached to this issue as a zip file.

Comment From: tvdinh

Not exactly minimal, but hope this would work: https://github.com/tvdinh/spring-hystrix-demo Simply clone, and run "mvn clean install"

Comment From: Haybu

mvn clean install runs successfully on the provided sample. The provided sample depends on a computation service to invoke, therefore I won't be able to run it.

I put together for you the attached typical simple sample that works with same boot version 2.1.4.RELEASE and SC version Finchley.RELEASE.

@Haybu : Thanks Haybu, turned out it is the issue with my local maven repo. aspectj 1.9.2 is corrupted. It's all good now. Closing the ticket. Thanks.

how to solve this issue?

Please open a separate issue with a description of the problem and a sample that reproduces the problem
