Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.
٢٠٢٢-٠٧-٠٤ ١٩:١٠:١٥.٨١٥ ERROR 12676 --- [ restartedMain] o.s.b.d.LoggingFailureAnalysisReporter :

---

APPLICATION FAILED TO START

---

Description:

The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle:

┌─────┐
| betterReadDataLoaderApplication (field io.betterRead.author.AuthorRepository io.betterRead.BetterReadDataLoaderApplication.authorRepository)
↑ ↓
| authorRepository defined in io.betterRead.author.AuthorRepository defined in @EnableCassandraRepositories declared on CassandraRepositoriesRegistrar.EnableCassandraRepositoriesConfiguration
↑ ↓
| org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.cassandra.CassandraDataAutoConfiguration
↑ ↓
| cassandraSession defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/cassandra/CassandraAutoConfiguration.class]
↑ ↓
| cassandraSessionBuilder defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/cassandra/CassandraAutoConfiguration.class]
└─────┘

Action:

Relying upon circular references is discouraged and they are prohibited by default. Update your application to remove the dependency cycle between beans. As a last resort, it may be possible to break the cycle automatically by setting spring.main.allow-circular-references to true.

hi @Feras1995 I'm getting the same error - did you manage to figure this out?

My folder sturcutre looks like this:

This isn't the best solution but it does mean you can progress with the course.
I'd love to understand how to fix this properly.

Add allow-circlular-references: true to the yaml file.

spring:
  main:
    allow-circular-references: true
