I am currently learning Spring Boot and installed the extensions in VS Code. I used Spring Initializr and created Gradle Spring Boot project with Spring Web dependency. I tried to run it but it says:
Error: Main method not found in the file, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args)
This is my TestApplication.java:
package com.testing.test;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class TestApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(TestApplication.class, args);
}
}
build.gradle
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.1.2'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.1.2'
}
group = 'com.testing'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
java {
sourceCompatibility = '17'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}
tasks.named('test') {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
I can see that public static void main(String[] args)
does exist. Is something wrong with it or anything that is preventing me from running it?
I have no idea what to try to fix this. I wanted it to run.
