spring-social-showcase-boot gives error when booting in Eclipse

Hi @habuma , hope you are doing fine!!

I am getting error when booting spring-social-showcase-boot in Eclipse. I am running as Java Application as spring boot allows.

Seems that it is not getting the spring social configuration, cause the error is: Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.springframework.social.facebook.api.Facebook] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}

I managed to get it starting by doing the following changes:

1) In build.gradle, depend on the latest Spring boot version:

classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.3.RELEASE")

2) Also in build.gradle, do not override the versions of spring-social anymore:

compile("org.springframework.social:spring-social-facebook") compile("org.springframework.social:spring-social-facebook-web") compile("org.springframework.social:spring-social-config")

3) Add an application.properties file in src/main/resources:

spring.social.facebook.app-id= spring.social.facebook.app-secret=

After doing this, it still failed because of a similar exception for LinkedIn and Twitter. Since I don't need those at the moment, I added a @Profile("linkedin") and @Profile("twitter") to the classes in org.springframework.social.showcase.linkedin and org.springframework.social.showcase.twitter. If starting without any profile, then Spring Boot will no longer complain that the controllers need that, since they are not started.

I guess that if you want linkedin or twitter, you need to add similar properties in application.properties with linkedin or twitter replacing facebook.

Note that the above makes the application start, but still does not work with Facebook. For that you need to change signin.html. Replace:

<input type="hidden" name="scope" value="read_stream,user_posts,user_photos"></input>

With:

<input type="hidden" name="scope" value="email"></input>
