I have defined in my application properties:

spring.cloud.gcp.project-id=PROJECT_ID
spring.cloud.gcp.credentials.location=lasspath:/src/main/resources/key.json

Added the dependency in the pom file:

 <dependency>
     <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
     <artifactId>google-cloud-dialogflow</artifactId>
     <version>1.0.0</version>

> set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="C:\Users\user\Desktop\****\******\src\main\resources\key.json"
