Spring Boot + QueryDSL: com.mysema.query package classes missing

Question

I'm trying to setup QueryDSL with Spring Boot and I ran into problems, when I can't compile the project correctly. I get quite a lot of errors:

[ERROR] /C:..../target/generated-sources/apt/**/***/domain/QFirm.java:[68,18] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol:   class StringPath
[ERROR] location: class **.****.domain.QFirm

Here is my Maven pom file:

</project>

I've checked the generated classes and I see that package com.mysema.query is missing ('query' in red). If I change the pom maven build to use com.mysema instead of com.mysema.querydsl for querydsl-apt then the querydsl entity classes aren't generated at all.

I have read in other posts that the above solution should work, but it doesn't work for me. Maybe somebody had a similar problem and managed to solve it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Replace

<processor>com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor</processor>

With

<processor>com.querydsl.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor</processor>

And also

                <dependency>
                    <groupId>com.mysema.querydsl</groupId>
                    <artifactId>querydsl-apt</artifactId>
                    <version>3.7.4</version>
                </dependency>

With

                <dependency>
                    <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
                    <artifactId>querydsl-apt</artifactId>
                    <version>4.1.3</version>
                </dependency>
