org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "post" does not exist - postgresql

Question

I'm trying to create a spring boot app.Getting the following error-
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "post" does not exist
When i try to run it from eclipse.I was originally getting the hibernate_sequence error but after looking thru i saw the #GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY) solution.
Here is my code
My Post class is-
package au.com.riosoftware.firstapp.domain;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import javax.persistence.Table;
#Entity
public class Post {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -7049957706738879274L;
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;
private String message;
public Post(){
}
public Post(String message){
this.message = message;
}
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}

My application.properties is set as-
spring.jpa.database=postgresql
spring.datasource.platform=postgres
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
spring.database.driverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/testdb
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=postgres
server.port=8080
logging.level.org.springframework.web=DEBUG
logging.level.org.hibernate=ERROR
Any idea why this is happening

Answer 1

Could be related to case sensitivity.
#Entity
#Table(name = "post")
Also "post" might be a reserved keyword in Postgres, if the above does not work try changing the table name.
The last option is that Spring is not finding the entity add
#EntityScan() -- With your base package
to your configuration.
