I would like to replicate this Spring Initializr setup using the spring init cli.

However, the command returns the following error message whenever I try to add 'rest' as a dependency i.e. Rest Repositories that expose Spring Data repositories over REST.

Initializr service call failed using 'https://start.spring.io' - service returned Bad Request: 'Unknown dependency 'rest' check project metadata'

Here is the command I'm running:

spring init --build=maven \
--java-version=11 \
--artifact=explorecali \
--package-name=com.example.ec \
--name=explorecali \
--description="Explore California Microservice" \
--dependencies=web,h2,jpa,rest \
--packaging=jar \
sample-app.zip

If rest isn't the correct dependency name, what is? Moreover, how can one list the available dependencies from the command line to get their correct names.

CodePudding user response：

Take a look at the link you posted, it has the dependency names listed out.

The Rest Repositories are added with data-rest, not rest. Spring Data JPA is added with data-jpa, not jpa.

Hope this helps.
