Issue
I am upgrading my spring boot application to latest stable version 2.6.6, The Build is successful, but getting below errors on runtime. How can i look why this class PropertySourceLocator is missing, and what steps can someone generally take to solve such issues related to dependencies like in my case. I have tried various things like excluding any conflicting dependencies, using compatible versions of different libraries like spring-boot and spring cloud.

Solution
Do you have dependency for that class?
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.cloud/spring-cloud-context -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-context</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
