Autowired Controller in Spring Boot test is null

I am trying my hand at creating tests for my Spring boot app using Spock/Groovy. I am following a guide, and the first test is to test whether all the beans are created. I auto wired one of my controller classes, ChannelController, and expected it to be created. However, the test is showing that it's actually null. I created some other simple tests in the test file (1 + 1 == 2) and they all run and pass. Can anyone help me out?

My directory structure for the ChannelController class is:

You included spock-core as a dependency, but not spock-spring. Change your dependency to say spock-spring instead, and your test should work.

using Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner and generating stubs from contracts (contracts placed in git) in one place (application)

is it possible?
I want to create stub server for smoke testing with features:
on build it gets contracts of multiple rest applications from git repository, build stubs and push them back to repository as jsons
on startup it gets stub jsons from repository and run them
I tried this:
main class:
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableStubRunnerServer
public class SpringCloudStubRunnerApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringCloudStubRunnerApplication.class, args);
}
}
application.yaml:
server:
port: 8080
stubrunner:
stubsMode: REMOTE

When I 'mvn clean install -DskipTests' for generating stubs than I have following in log:
[INFO] Pattern to pick contracts equals [^/tmp/git-contracts-1614681706091-0/META-INF/ru.mts.poisk/my-content-adapter/1.0-S1-SNAPSHOT(/)?.*ru/mts/poisk/spring-cloud-stub-runner/.*$]
[INFO] Ant Pattern to pick files equals [**/ru/mts/poisk/spring-cloud-stub-runner/**/]
so my app doesn't generate stubs and has nothing to push back, because I have another directory structure in git

Package Not Found Maven Compile Error on Mvn Clean Install

I have a micro-service based application that I am building out locally. I have a situation where micro-service A is depending on micro-service B and as such I have included B in A's pom as a dependency and there are no errors in the code and all of the classes are recognized. However, when I go to do a 'mvn clean install' command on A, I get the error where none of the packages in B are recognized as well as 'Cannot find symbol' for all of the classes from B that I am trying to use in A.
I have tried changing the execution goal of the maven plugin to 'repackage' in the pom of B like:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I have also confirmed that the JAR file is getting correctly built out to my local maven repository in my .m2 folder and made sure that the classes and code is contained there.
I also have tried breaking down the maven commands into sub-commands instead of just doing a maven clean install

If your two microservices both need a set of classes, put that classes into a separate (third) jar, build it as normal jar and use it as dependency in both.

Could not find or load main class, when running spring boot Application

I'm having issues when I run my application as a java application.
I've tried various solutions but with no success.
I still get the following message:
Could not find or load main class com.alliacom.audit.AuditApplication

and this is my main application,

#SpringBootApplication
#EnableJpaAuditing
public class AuditApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(AuditApplication.class, args);
}
}
The project seems fine,
there are no errors during build,
but I don't see the cause of the problem.

The fastest solution, since your pom is very small:
Got to Spring Initializer: https://start.spring.io/
Generate a new Maven / Java / SpringBoot 2.0 project.
run it and check your system is fine
start adding your customizations one at a time, and try after each modification.
In few minutes you'll have found the culprit.

Try removing the following from your pom file (it is not needed):
<configuration>
<mainClass>com.alliacom.audit.AuditApplication</mainClass>
</configuration>

You need to use the plugin like this
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>

</plugin>

Things that work:
So things work okay when I do mvn clean install in the folder of parent pom.xml and then run mvn spring-boot:run in the mainApp folder
Things that fail:
when I execute java -jar mainApp/target/xyz.jar I get an error like:
no main manifest attribute, in mainApp/target/xyz.jar
if I attempt to run the jar like ./mainApp/target/xyz.jar, well I can't as the file is not an executable, my macOS Sierra terminal shows this for file permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 userXYZ staff 37641156 Feb 1 13:14 xyz.jar
If I manually change the permissions to -rwxr--r-- and attempt to run the file I get this gibberish:
/xyz.jar: line 1: PK: command not found
./xyz.jar: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

The problem is not how the plugin is configured, but where the plugin is configured.
I have wrapped my plugins with <pluginManagement>, which was causing all the problems, when i removed it all was resolved and worked perfectly

update your build block in pom.xml with following, make sure you are using using Maven 3.2 (or better):
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.1.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

the main class entry is missing in the jar manifesto.
Please modify the boot maven plugin as below:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
<layout>ZIP</layout>
</configuration>

<goal>repackage</goal>
