SpringBoot Possible conflicts with azure-spring-boot-bom and spring-boot-starter-actuator

-Spring boot 2.5.6 -Maven error: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: ERROR_ATTRIBUTE

ANY request made to the API works but throws a 500 as a response and kicks up the error on spring. When removing actuator from the application pom.xml there are no errors at all. Everything works perfectly The addition of actuator, despite if it's secured or not by spring security, introduces the error. I've removed all bits of security configuration from the application and just having the two dependencies in the pom, not being used, will still replicate the error. I've cleaned the project, tried to manually override the dependencies versions for both actuator and spring security but all to no avail.

Comment From: wilkinsona

The ERROR_ATTRIBUTE field was added to org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.error.ErrorAttributes from the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot module in Spring Boot 2.5.0. It would appear that you have an earlier version of that module on the classpath. I can't tell why that's the case from the information you've provided thus far but I suspect the cause of the problem is in your pom.xml file.

If you would like us to spend some more time investigating, please spend some time providing a complete yet minimal sample that reproduces the problem. You can share it with us by pushing it to a separate repository on GitHub or by zipping it up and attaching it to this issue.

I am no longer having this issue. I logged in this morning and it worked without changes. Thank you for the response though.
