intellij incorrectly saying no beans of type found for autowired repository

Question

I have created a simple unit test but IntelliJ is incorrectly highlighting it red. marking it as an error

No beans?

Answer 1

I just had to use @EnableAutoConfiguration to address it, however this error had no functional impact.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem in my application. When I added annotations incorrect highliting dissapeared.

@ContextConfiguration(classes = {...})

Answer 3

Check if you missed @Service annotation in your service class, that was the case for me.

Answer 4

And one last piece of important information - add the ComponentScan so that the app knows about the things it needs to wire. This is not relevant in the case of this question. However if no @autowiring is being performed at all then this is likely your solution.

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {
    "some_package",
})
public class someService {

Answer 5

Surprisingly, A Feign oriented project that successfully ran with Eclipse could not run in InteliJ. When started the application, InteliJ complained about the Feign client I tried to inject to the serviceImpl layer saying: field personRestClient (my Feign client) in ... required a bean of type ... that could not be found. Consider defining a bean of type '....' in your configuration.

I wasted a long time trying to understand what is wrong. I found a solution (for InteliJ) which I do not completely understand:

1. Alt Shift F10 (or run menu)
2. Select 'Edit configuration'
3. In configuration window, Check the checkbox 'include dependencies with "Provided" scope'
4. Run your application

Or choose Eclipse :)

Answer 6

Check if the package of your bean is written correctly

//Check if this is written right 
package com.package1.package2.package3


import ...

@Service
class ServiceX {

  ...

}
