spring-boot 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT and spring-cloud-starter-feign Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.bind.RelaxedDataBinder

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to create spring reactive web app and use cloud feing and as soon as I add spring-cloud-starter-feign dependency then I get the following error at startup:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.bind.RelaxedDataBinder

here is the stack trace:

Spring Cloud is not yet compatible with Spring Boot 2.0 snapshots. The problem you’ve reported here is in Spring Cloud Commons.

Thanks, it was probably stated clearly above but not obvious for one in a hurry like I was… For what it’s worth: <!-- This killed almost an entire day… finding out now that references in Spring Boot 2.x may bring in older Spring Cloud libs that then reference back to Spring Boot 1.x. This subsequently result in ClassNotFoundExceptions 😦

        Explicitly upgrade indirect springframework.cloud libraries to fix. I had to do
        upgrade these, but you may need to upgrade others:
