How do I resolve error "No bean of type [io.micronaut.data.operations.PrimaryRepositoryOperations] exists" in micronaut application?

Question

I am evaluating micronaut and am attempting to port a small application as a pilot project. I have run into a snag dealing with datasources/repositories.

I have the following application.yml:

micronaut:
  application:
    name: bling-application

datasources:
  default:
    url: jdbc:h2:mem:devDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
    driverClassName: org.h2.Driver
    username: sa
    password: ''
    schema-generate: CREATE_DROP
    dialect: H2

jpa:
  default:
    entity-scan:
      packages: 'my.package.entity'
    properties:
      hibernate:
        bytecode:
          provider: none
        hbm2ddl:
          auto: update

I have defined a simple Repository interface as follows:

package my.package.entity.repository;

import my.package.entity.Company;
import io.micronaut.data.annotation.Repository;
import io.micronaut.data.repository.CrudRepository;

@Repository
public interface CompanyRepository extends CrudRepository<Company, Long> {

    Company findByName(String name);

}

When I run the application in test mode (./mvnw compile exec:exec) it starts without error. However, when I request an end-point that exercises the CompanyRepository I receive the following exception:

14:38:37.307 [pool-1-thread-4] ERROR i.m.h.s.netty.RoutingInBoundHandler - Unexpected error occurred: No backing RepositoryOperations configured for repository. Check your configuration and try again

Make sure the bean is not disabled by bean requirements (enable trace logging for 'io.micronaut.context.condition' to check) and if the bean is enabled then ensure the class is declared a bean and annotation processing is enabled (for Java and Kotlin the 'micronaut-inject-java' dependency should be configured as an annotation processor).

The stack trace says that something is missing from the application context (presumably PrimaryRepositoryOperations) but it is not clear to me what that is. How can I correct this error? I am new to micronaut and presume that I am missing some crucial dependency or configuration.

Answer 1

I had the same error and it was caused by incorrect package name in the entity-scan property.

Like this sample:

jpa:
  default:
    entity-scan:
      packages: 'your.package.domain'

Answer 2

Okay, one more answer which maybe helpful in this particular case that I was facing. So I had a service which was not being injected after I applied the validation annotations. So, the fix as clearly mentioned on the docs page is:

https://docs.micronaut.io/snapshot/guide/index.html#datavalidation

For Gradle

implementation("io.micronaut.beanvalidation:micronaut-hibernate-validator")

For Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.micronaut.beanvalidation</groupId>
    <artifactId>micronaut-hibernate-validator</artifactId>
</dependency>

Answer 3

The problem was missing/conflicting dependencies in my pom file. To resolve I added this dependency:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.micronaut.configuration</groupId>
      <artifactId>micronaut-jdbc-tomcat</artifactId>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>

And removed this one:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.micronaut.configuration</groupId>
      <artifactId>micronaut-hibernate-jpa</artifactId>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

Answer 4

I have an event listener that queries the database on application startup. If the DB is unreachable, it also throws this exception.
No bean of type [io.micronaut.data.operations.PrimaryRepositoryOperations] exists .

@Singleton
open class NativeUserAuthorization(
        private val userService: UserServiceOperations): ApplicationEventListener<ServerStartupEvent> {

    override fun onApplicationEvent(event: ServerStartupEvent?) {
        // database access here
    }
}

Counterproof

Answer 5

I tried the dependencies EXACTLY as in one of the projects in https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-data and it worked.

These projects are a good starting place too.
