Datasource Autoconfiguration with spring.datasource properties breaks in 1.5.6.RELEASE whereas it works fine with 1.5.4.RELEASE version

Unable to create datasource in the recent spring boot 1.5.6.RELEASE using spring.datasource properties whereas the same configuration works with 1.5.4.RELEASE.

Please find the configurations below:

application.yml

spring:
  datasource:
    driver-class-name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jpadb?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false
    username: root
    password: root
  jpa:
    show-sql: true
    hibernate:
      ddl-auto: create-drop

pom.xml :

	<parent>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
		<version>1.5.6.RELEASE</version>
		<relativePath/> 
	</parent>

	<properties>
		<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

Error :

Description:

Parameter 0 of constructor in org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration required a bean of type 'javax.sql.DataSource' that could not be found.
	- Bean method 'dataSource' not loaded because @ConditionalOnProperty (spring.datasource.jndi-name) did not find property 'jndi-name'
	- Bean method 'dataSource' not loaded because @ConditionalOnBean (types: org.springframework.boot.jta.XADataSourceWrapper; SearchStrategy: all) did not find any beans


Action:

Consider revisiting the conditions above or defining a bean of type 'javax.sql.DataSource' in your configuration.

It seems that the dependency for datasource, spring-boot-starter-jdbc is not included

In my way, there is two options to solve this issue :

1. Manual config by create Data-source bean in your app :

@Bean
public DataSource dataSource(){
    DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
    dataSource.setDriverClassName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    dataSource.setUrl("your url");
    dataSource.setUsername( "username" );
    dataSource.setPassword( "password" );
    return dataSource;
}

1. Upgrade your spring boot version : 1.5.4.RELEASE to 1.5.9.RELEASE

Hope it useful ✌️
