'Hibernate Validator: NoSuchMethodException
I'm making a Reddit clone for practice and I added custom validation for unique username. The problem is when I run the app and try to signup I get this exception all the time (when the username is unique and also when it's not):

From other similar posts I've tried:
- Adding @Component to the validator class
- Using field injection
- Using LocalValidatorFactoryBean
- Adding an empty constructor
- Adding validation-api dependency
- Adding javaee-api dependency
but none of those solved the problem.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm stuck with this for two days by now.
