I have created few classes controller,model and dao which are shown below and all dependencies are also added. But I am getting the following error while starting the application:

Also these are some suggestions I am getting from the IDE.

Facing issue with adding new record in post method.

Couldn't figure out why it's happening? Please try to help with this.

chrylis -on strike- :

The problem is that you have defined spring-boot-starter-data-jpa to be available only in test scope, but you need it for your regular application! Simply remove the scope tag.
