Spring boot starter: Application fails to start up

[Chris Brumfitt]

Hi

I have an existing, Spring boot web application and I want to start using Togglz within it.

Using this guide: https://www.togglz.org/documentation/spring-boot-starter

I have added the dependencies to the POM (including the optional ones, except for the spring security one).

I have added these properties to my application.properties:

togglz.features.FOO.enabled=true
togglz.features.BAR.enabled=false

When I try to start up my application, it is failing to start and I am getting this exception. Can anyone help please?

I have solved the above problem. I removed the optional Thymeleaf dependency and now my app starts up.

The Togglz console is still not working for me though. Have included the console maven dependency. Any ideas please?
