Spring Data JPA – Consider defining a bean named ‘entityManagerFactory’ in your configuration

December 4, 2023 by Tarik

In my case, I had the wrong dependency: spring-data-jpa.
when I changed to spring-boot-starter-data-jpa, it solved the problem.

I didn’t have to add any annotation @Repository nor @EnableJpa etc.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
