[FIXED] Could not autowire field: private org.optaplanner.core.api.solver.SolverManager

Issue

I want to use Optaplanner with my spring mvc project. and I got this exception: Could not autowire field: private org.optaplanner.core.api.solver.SolverManager

this is my service :

public class ServiceTimeTableImpl implements IServiceTimeTable {

    IDaoTimeTable dao;

    public static final Long SINGLETON_TIME_TABLE_ID = 1L;

    @Autowired
    private SolverManager<TimeTable, Long> solverManager;
    
    @Autowired
    ScoreManager<TimeTable> scoreManager;

}

and this is my pom dependency:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.optaplanner</groupId>
            <artifactId>optaplanner-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
            <version>7.40.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>

the hole exception is :

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'servicetime': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.optaplanner.core.api.solver.SolverManager com.nouhaila.timetable.service.ServiceTimeTableImpl.solverManager; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.optaplanner.core.api.solver.SolverManager] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

Solution

That's weird, the optaplanner-spring-boot-starter should automatically expose it. You could try upgrading to the latest (7.43.0.Final) which has a few improvements but I doubt that helps.

Try putting a breakpoint in OptaPlannerAutoConfiguration to see if it is active. Not that it will only work if you use Spring Boot, not just Spring.
