spring-boot-admin-starter-client not working with springboot 2.6.6

[sageOfGitPaths]

Greetings, I recently upgraded my springboot version from 2.5.4 to 2.6.6. My spring-boot-admin-starter-client 2.4.1 used to work with springboot 2.5.4. I tried using spring-boot-admin-starter-client 2.4.1, 2.6.6 and 2.6.7 with springboot 2.6.6, all versions give the same runtime error below:

---

APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

io.opentracing.contrib.spring.web.starter.SkipPatternAutoConfiguration$ManagementSkipPatternProviderConfig.getPatternForManagementServerProperties(SkipPatternAutoConfiguration.java:68)

The following method did not exist:

org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.web.server.ManagementServerProperties.getServlet()Lorg/springframework/boot/actuate/autoconfigure/web/server/ManagementServerProperties$Servlet;

The calling method's class, io.opentracing.contrib.spring.web.starter.SkipPatternAutoConfiguration$ManagementSkipPatternProviderConfig, was loaded from the following location:

jar:file:/C:/Users/Admin/.m2/repository/io/opentracing/contrib/opentracing-spring-web-starter/4.0.0/opentracing-spring-web-starter-4.0.0.jar!/io/opentracing/contrib/spring/web/starter/SkipPatternAutoConfiguration$ManagementSkipPatternProviderConfig.class

The called method's class, org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.web.server.ManagementServerProperties, is available from the following locations:

jar:file:/C:/Users/Admin/.m2/repository/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure/2.6.6/spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure-2.6.6.jar!/org/springframework/boot/actuate/autoconfigure/web/server/ManagementServerProperties.class

The called method's class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.web.server.ManagementServerProperties: file:/C:/Users/Admin/.m2/repository/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure/2.6.6/spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure-2.6.6.jar

Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains compatible versions of the classes io.opentracing.contrib.spring.web.starter.SkipPatternAutoConfiguration$ManagementSkipPatternProviderConfig and org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.web.server.ManagementServerProperties

My YML configs:

spring.boot.admin.client.password: admin
spring.boot.admin.client.url: http://localhost:8080/
spring.boot.admin.client.username: admin
spring.boot.admin.client.instance.name: ${spring.application.name}
spring.boot.admin.client.instance.metadata.user.name: admin
spring.boot.admin.client.instance.metadata.user.password: admin

your feedback will be highly appreciated

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with spring boot admin.

You might be able to get past that issue by adding application configuration so that the configuration above isn't loaded, and providing your own SkipPattern if needed. But I wouldn't be surprised if you run into additional problems with that unmaintained dependency.

Hi @naughtyFingers031,

as @chris-adfenix has stated, this is not related to SBA. Please file an issue at opentracing.
