public class Dump implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private String email;
    
}

Repository:

Can somebody help me to fix this error? I would appreciate that :)

Every time I start the application, this exception is the output

Answer 1

Spring Boot's auto-configuration probably cannot find your entity Dump.

Add the @EntityScan annotation to your application class or a configuration class, for example:

package tech.backend.webapplication;

@SpringBootApplication
@EntityScan("tech.backend.webapplication.com.model")
public class WebapplicationApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(WebapplicationApplication.class, args);
    }

}

Answer 2

On multi-modules this issue can happen,you can do on your main class,

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"tech.backend.webapplication.*"})
public class WebapplicationApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(WebapplicationApplication.class, args);
}
}
