Spring-boot Maven flyway Unable to connect to the database. Configure the url, user and password

Question

Im my spring-boot application, when executing "mvn flyway:migrate" , I have the following exception:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.flywaydb:flyway-maven-plugin:6.4.1:migrate (default-cli) on project test-data-api: org.flywaydb.core.api.FlywayException: Unable to connect to the database. Configure the url, user and password!

Even when replacing the flyway placeholders (${flyway.url}, ${flyway.user}, ${flyway.user}) in the POM.XML file with Strings representing url, user and password, the above error occurs.

application.yaml:

flyway:
    url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@//xxxxxxxxx.ch:1521/yyyyy
    user: xxxx
    password: xxxxxxx

spring:
  flyway:
    url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@//xxxxxxxxx.ch:1521/yyyyy
    user: xxxx
    password: xxxxxxx

pom.xml

It seems that you are using an old version for the flyway-maven-plugin plugin. As of today the most recent version is 7.8.1

Try to use this version and see if the error still occurs.
