Cannot resolve symbol 'EnableEurekaClient'

Question

I'm configuring eureka server and eureka client for spring boot microservices. Spring boot version - 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT spring-cloud.version - 2023.0.0 java - 17

When I add @EnableEurekaClient annotation at main class, it is not able to find the annotation.

Getting this error- java: cannot find symbol symbol: class EnableEurekaClient

I have tried both of the following dependencies-

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

My application.properties

server.port=8081

spring.cloud.compatibility-verifier.enabled=false

eureka.client.service-url.defaultZone=http://localhost:8761/eureka

Answer 1

Try with @EnableDiscoveryClient instead of @EnableEurekaClient.

However @EnableEurekaClient annotation is not required anymore. Simply adding spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client to dependencies will enable the client. https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/issues/4022#issuecomment-915991198
