Consider defining a bean of type ''FooMapper" in your configuration

[Olufemi Oyenusi]

Hello, I'm trying to get Mapstruct working with gradle. The implementations generate and work great when I run the service from the boot dashboard in eclipse, but they don't generate when run with gradlew bootrun, and the bean can't be found. Here is the error:

***************************

APPLICATION FAILED TO START

***************************

Description:

Field fooMapper in ServiceImpl required a bean of type 'FooMapper' that could not be found.

The injection point has the following annotations:

        - @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'FooMapper' in your configuration.

and here is my build.gradle file

plugins {

    id "org.springframework.boot"

    id "groovy"

    id "com.diffplug.eclipse.apt" version "3.31.0" 

}

configurations {

  // configuration to enable running bootRun locally

  // with embedded h2 database

  runlocal

}

ext {

    mapstructVersion = "1.5.0.Beta1"

}

dependencies {

  implementation "org.mapstruct:mapstruct:${mapstructVersion}"

  annotationProcessor "org.mapstruct:mapstruct-processor:${mapstructVersion}"

  testImplementation "org.testng:testng:6.10", "org.easytesting:fest-assert:1.4"

  implementation project(":cpms-common")

  implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:$springBootVersion"

  implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc:$springBootVersion"

  implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:$springBootVersion"

  implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator:$springBootVersion"

  implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-validation:$springBootVersion"

  implementation "org.codehaus.gpars:gpars:1.2.1"

  developmentOnly "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools:$springBootVersion"

  

  runlocal project(":test-db")

  

  testImplementation project(":test-db")

}

sourceSets.main.groovy.srcDirs += ["build/generated/sources"]

bootRun {

  classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath + configurations.runlocal

}

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {

    options.compilerArgs = [

        "-Amapstruct.suppressGeneratorTimestamp=true",

        "-Amapstruct.defaultComponentModel=spring",

        "-Amapstruct.verbose=true"

    ]

}

is it because my code is written in groovy? But then why would it work with the boot dashboard in eclipse? Any help would be really appreciated!

I also want to clarify that I am in fact using  @Mapper(componentModel = "spring"), that hasn't fixed the issue
