I'm using Spring Data Couchbase and I'm trying to autowired a custom Interface who extends from CrudRepository but Spring cannot do it - spring-data

Question

I have follow the Spring Data Couchbase documentation to understand how to configure Couchbase and use the powerful of Spring Data with it, however I have spent 2 days trying to fix this issue. So I'm going to explain first what I have.
First, I created a custom interface that extends from CrudRepository
public interface UserRepository extends CrudRepository<User, String> {
//some custom methods
}
Then, my configuration class looks like this
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan("com.example")
#EnableCouchbaseRepositories
public class ServiceConfiguration extends AbstractCouchbaseConfiguration {
#Value("${couchbase.cluster.bucket}")
private String bucketName;
#Value("${couchbase.cluster.password}")
private String password;
#Value("${couchbase.cluster.host}")
private String host;
#Override
protected List<String> getBootstrapHosts() {
return Arrays.asList(this.host);
}
#Override
protected String getBucketName() {
return this.bucketName;
}
#Override
protected String getBucketPassword() {
return this.password;
}
}
Now, I have a Service class where I'm autowiring my custom repository interface UserRepository like this
#Service
public class UserService {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(UserService.class);
#Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
public void save(User user) {
try {
userRepository.save(user);
} catch (Throwable t) {
LOG.error("An Error occurred while trying to save an User", t);
}
}
}
And I have the following dependencies in my pom.xml

<jstl.version>1.2</jstl.version>

Now, the issue I'm having is that even I have included the annotation for EnableCouchbaseRepositories in my config class, Spring is not able to autowired the bean and I got this exception

This is the documentation I'm following
http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/couchbase/docs/current/reference/html/
But also I have seen other links where is pretty similar the way to config Couchbase using Spring Data

Answer 1

Specify basePackages to #EnableCouchbaseRepositories
Example:
#EnableCouchbaseRepositories(basePackages = {"com.example.repos"})

Answer 2

Annotate UserRepository with #Repository
