I have created a new SpringBoot application and am trying to connect to a postgres database. The only solutions I have found for this issue are making sure the the correct dependencies are present in the pom file...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
as well as making sure the driver class is configured in the application.properties file...
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
Despite all this I am still getting the following trace
Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.

Try changing your maven dependency to:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>42.5.0</version>
</dependency>

I was able to fix this issue by adding postgresql.jar to the class path.
