Description:

Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured.

Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class


Action:

Consider the following:
    If you want an embedded database (H2, HSQL or Derby), please put it on the classpath.
    If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile you may need to activate it (no profiles are currently active).

Solution 1:[1]

Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties$DataSourceBeanCreationException: Failed to determine a suitable driver class

The stacktrace says the exception happens when creating the HikariDataSource bean because it complains you do not define driverClassName or url for the JDBC connection in the properties file.

But creating this HikariDataSource bean is triggered by the DataSourceAutoConfiguration which you already exclude it explicitly in the properties file.

So I believe mostly probably there are some configuration issue that causes it cannot load your application.yml successfully (may be you put it in the wrong folder ?) Because if it can be loaded successfully , it will exclude DataSourceAutoConfiguration as configured and will not create HikariDataSource and will not throw this exception.
