Spring Boot Embedded Database Driver Error Guide

Ccentron Redaktion · February 2024 ·3 min read ·Java, Tutorial

If you are reading this, then I think you have got “Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE” error while running Spring Boot application. Below image shows my simple Spring Boot starter project where I got “Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE” error while running the JUnit test case.

Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type none error

Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE

This error comes when you don’t have a DataSource configured for your spring boot application. When you run spring boot application, it tries to configure the DataSource and throws this error message when there is no configuration provided. Below are the classes that I had in my spring boot starter project.

Spring Boot Starter Project Classes

Go
package com.journaldev.spring;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBatchHelloWorldApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SpringBatchHelloWorldApplication.class, args);
    }
}
package com.journaldev.spring;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class SpringBatchHelloWorldApplicationTests {

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
    }

}

My application.properties file was empty. Now when I execute about JUnit class, it give below error.

Fix for Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE

As you can see that my java classes have nothing, so the error has to do something with Spring Boot. I found two ways we can fix this issue.

Method 1: Exclude Auto Configuration

Go
package com.journaldev.spring;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class})
public class SpringBatchHelloWorldApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SpringBatchHelloWorldApplication.class, args);
    }
}

With above configuration, JUnit test case executed fine and no more Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE error.

Method 2: Provide DataSource URL

Another way to fix this issue is to provide spring.datasource.url in the application.properties file. It worked for me, although I didn’t provided any database username and password.

Code
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/Test_DB

That’s all for fixing the spring boot datasource error, I hope these fixes will help you in fixing the issue with your spring boot application - a Guide.
