# Boot start-up failure for a field-injection cycle: --spring.profiles.active=field-cycle ERROR --- o.s.b.d.LoggingFailureAnalysisReporter : *************************** APPLICATION FAILED TO START *************************** Description: The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle: ┌─────┐ | bootCycles.FieldOne (field com.ankurm.coredi.boot.BootCycles$FieldTwo com.ankurm.coredi.boot.BootCycles$FieldOne.two) ↑ ↓ | bootCycles.FieldTwo (field com.ankurm.coredi.boot.BootCycles$FieldOne com.ankurm.coredi.boot.BootCycles$FieldTwo.one) └─────┘ Action: Relying upon circular references is discouraged and they are prohibited by default. Update your application to remove the dependency cycle between beans. As a last resort, it may be possible to break the cycle automatically by setting spring.main.allow-circular-references to true.
