Spring Data example not working for me

[William Barnes]

Starting with the "official" Quick Start example here: http://projects.spring.io/spring-data/#quick-start

I use start.spring.io to create a project with 1] DevTools, 2] JPA and 3] H2

Using IntelliJ IDEA open the project, and the test driver class executes with no errors.

tFollowing the instuctions on the Quick Start page I: update pom.xml, create Employee.java, and create EmployeeRepository.java

Now when I run this I get

2017-05-25 19:06:31.558  WARN 5492 --- [  restartedMain] s.c.a.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext : 
Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 'employeeRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/ReactiveTypeDescriptor

I can't find any place where I have "employeeRepository", lower case "e", as it appears in that log message.

I assume that that web page isn't giving me exactly all the changes I need to make.  But I don't know how to trouble shoot this.

Thanks

Found a more "complete" example, so going to just move on to that.  https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-jpa/

suppose you have missed the a annotation

@Repository

on employeeRepository or

@ComponentScan

. It would be helpful if you could post the full code you have tried. But There are plenty of Spring Data Examples on git hub https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-examples
