SpringBoot Enable Tracing Agent Mode Failed

Environment: OS: Windows 10 X64 22H2 JDK: GraalVM CE 22.3.1 with Open JDK 19 Maven: 3.9.0 SpringBoot: 3.0.4

I followed the wiki and input the command below

java '-Dspring.aot.enabled=true' '-agentlib:native-image-agent=config-output-dir=src/main/resources/META-INF/native-image' -jar .\target\aot-tracing-agent-test-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

then I got this error msg.

I have gotten this problem since the realse of SpringBoot 3.0.0

by the way， if I only change the arg -Dspring.aot.enabled=true to -DspringAot=true, the application will start normally.

here is my test project

The absence of AotTracingAgentTestApplication__ApplicationContextInitializer suggests that AOT processing has not been performed when you built the jar. As you are using spring-boot-starter-parent you can use the native profile:

mvn -Pnative package

This will produce an AOT-processed jar file that contains AotTracingAgentTestApplication__ApplicationContextInitializer.
