NoSuchFieldError: DEFAULT_CONFIG_CLASS on Citrus Simulator WS project

Question

I'm getting this exception when running a fresh generated project using the Maven archetype org.citrusframework.archetypes:citrus-simulator-archetype-ws (Archetype for Citrus SOAP simulator).

I tried whit both 2.1.1 and 2.1.0 versions with the same result:

2022-07-07 10:19:40.718 WARN 3113 --- [ main] ConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext : Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [com.consol.citrus.config.CitrusSpringConfig]; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: DEFAULT_CONFIG_CLASS

I tried to find mixed versions of the spring jars in the dependencies tree with no success. This is the generated pom.xml:

</project>

I tried using java 17 at first and switched to java 11 which is the target version in the pom, but nothing changed.

Any ideas where may be the conflict?

Answer 1

It seems like you need to upgrade the citrus dependencies. (Upgrade Citurs Version to 3.2.1)

See as reference https://github.com/Malyky/citrusSoapSimulator
