i’m developing a Spring project as an exercise.

My project correctly connects to the DB, but it doesn’t autogenerate the tables. So, for now i had to create them myself. I thought the problem was i got something wrong with my .yml file, but i think i figured it’s not the case.

The reason I say this is because i tried to implement a Mapper using the MapStruct dependency, and every time i run the project, no matter what i did, it would give me an error on the @Autowired tag, because he could not find the bean. I fixed this by adding a @ComponentScan in my Main class, so i found out that something was not working with the scanning.

But now, even if I “fixed” that problem, by looking online i found out that if Spring doesnt’ correctly detect the package with the entities, it would obviously not create the tables in my db.

Now i need help actually fixing this problem. It’s so strange because i simply created a project with Spring initializer, the Main class is above all the packages as it should be, since i read that this is the main reason of this kind of problems (in fact i can use my Controller correctly with postman, so my project scans some packages but other… don’t?). So maybe i’m missing something.

Here’s my .yml file.

spring:
  application:
    name: esercitazione

  jmx:
    default-domain: it.prenota.ticket

  jpa:
    database: POSTGRESQL
    show-sql: true
    properties:
      hibernate:
        ddl-auto: update
        default_schema: public
        jdbc:
          lob:
            non_contextual_creation: true

  datasource:
    platform: postgres
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/tutordb
    username: postgres
    password: indra
    driverClassName: org.postgresql.Driver
    hikari:
      maximumPoolSize: 5
      minimumIdle: 1

And here’s the hierarchy of my packages:

I don’t know if it’s worth nothing, but i first started using my project with Eclipse, then i switched to IntelliJ.
