Common Error Patterns

1. NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

Symptoms:

• "Field xyz required a bean of type 'X' that could not be found"
• "No qualifying bean of type 'X' available"

Debugging Steps:

1. Verify the class has @Component, @Service, @Repository, or @Controller annotation
2. Check if the class is in a package scanned by @ComponentScan (must be in or below @SpringBootApplication class package)
3. Verify @Configuration classes with @Bean methods are being loaded
4. Check for conditional annotations (@ConditionalOnProperty, @Profile) that might exclude the bean
5. Look for typos in qualifier names with @Qualifier
