cas initializr latest build using wrong springboot version?

[Nathan Lewan]

hello all,

thanks for all the work you do with this. truly awesome.

I have been chugging away at a 6.5.6 build, and yesterday wiped out the overlay and downloaded a fresh one of cas 6.5.6 and cas-management 6.5.5.

when I went to build all was good, when I went to launch in an external tomcat container, all heck broke loose.

I noticed that the gradle.properties file for both cas and cas-management has changed to 2.7.2, from 2.6.3 by default. If I flip back to 2.6.3 things behave better. I still have issues, but i'm assuming that's my bad at the moment. 

when I run the 
curl https://casinit.herokuapp.com/actuator/supportedVersions | jq

it still lists spring boot 2.6.3 as the compatible boot version.

am I doing something incorrect.

thanks!

sorry, that was not welll written

That is not your bad, if it is as you report it. I am sure I messed
something up. Will look into it a bit later. Thanks for sharing.

I've just hard-coded the springboot version into my call to the initializr, and it's happy now. Let me know if you need another set of eyeballs to test something, if you end up needing to make a change.

Thanks for all your hard work.

All overlays look good, and have the appropriate versions. You'll need
to produce a reproducer (not just a description, but an actual
executable reproducer).

Firstly, I want to also mention how much I appreciate the work that's been done.  Thank you so much!

I believe the following will explain what Nathan ran into.  I struggled with this myself, literally just yesterday...

# query 'supportedVersions', cas version 6.5.8 indicates that the boot version should be at 2.6.3
curl https://casinit.herokuapp.com/actuator/supportedVersions | jq

# lets test this...
mkdir test-initializr
cd test-initializr

# post to initializer casVersion 6.5.8 and do not specify 'bootVersion'
curl -d type=cas-overlay -d baseDir=./springboot-not-specified -d casVersion=6.5.8 https://casinit.herokuapp.com/starter.tgz | tar -xzvf -

# post to intializer casVersion 6.5.8, this time specifying 'bootVersion'
curl -d type=cas-overlay -d baseDir=./springboot-specified -d casVersion=6.5.8 -d bootVersion=2.6.3 https://casinit.herokuapp.com/starter.tgz | tar -xzvf -

# do a diff on gradle.properties
diff springboot-not-specified/gradle.properties springboot-specified/gradle.properties

For me, the diff results in the following:
< springBootVersion=2.7.2
---
> springBootVersion=2.6.3


Is this intended behaviour?  It appears that one has to specify the bootVersion in order to get the correct version.

Thanks again!

No, this is a problem for sure. One should never have to specify the
boot version. Looks like it might be defaulting to the latest boot
version, as opposed to using what is declared as required/supported.

Sorry for not replying, yes this is what I was seeing as well. Manually defining it has resolved this for me. Thanks Jonathan for doing the extra legwork that I did not do.
