Spring boot Version changes giving errors

Question

My project was on spring boot 1.5.6.release.

Now after migrating to version 2.1.3. release, Upon running it shows the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.([Ljava/lang/Object;)V at org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.bootstrapServiceContext(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:157) at org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.onApplicationEvent(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:98) at org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapApplicationListener.onApplicationEvent(BootstrapApplicationListener.java:64) at org.springframework.context.event.SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.doInvokeListener(SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.java:172) at org.springframework.context.event.SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.invokeListener(SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.java:165) at org.springframework.context.event.SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.multicastEvent(SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.java:139) at org.springframework.context.event.SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.multicastEvent(SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster.java:127) at org.springframework.boot.context.event.EventPublishingRunListener.environmentPrepared(EventPublishingRunListener.java:75) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplicationRunListeners.environmentPrepared(SpringApplicationRunListeners.java:54) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.prepareEnvironment(SpringApplication.java:347) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:306) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1260) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1248) at org.netlink.workboard.application.WorkboardApiApplication.main(WorkboardApiApplication.java:25)

first poste your pom or gradle file and also ; try clean and reinstall your project may be some old .class fails the startup — Spring
Are you using a 2.1.3 SNAPSHOT? Maybe try with release version? — mate00

You're using the Spring Cloud Dalston version wihch is built on Spring Boot 1.5.x

So I think you have to use a compatible version with spring boot 2.x.

Try using the Greenwich release

<spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>

then clean and reinstall your project using Maven.
