Error Decrypting: null: EncryptionOperationNotPossibleException

[dbnex14]

I am using spring-boot-starter-parent version 2.7.6 and jasypt-spring-boot-starter dependency 3.0.3 (because I could not see 3.0.4 or 3.0.5 due to another issue (https://github.com/ulisesbocchio/jasypt-spring-boot/issues/347). OpenJdk11

Added in pom.xml of my Spring Boot app

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.ulisesbocchio</groupId>
            <artifactId>jasypt-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.3</version>
        </dependency>

Added plugin:

<build>
   <plugins>
        ....

    <plugin>
         <groupId>com.github.ulisesbocchio</groupId>
         <artifactId>jasypt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>3.0.3</version>
    </plugin>
   </plugins>

Annotated my spring boot class

@EnableEncryptableProperties
@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApiApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {...}
}

In my application.properties file, I have property myPassword=somePassword

I wrapped it with DEC like: myPassword=DEC(somePassword)

Issuing: mvn jasypt:encrypt -Djasypt.encryptor.password=mysecret

, will successfully encrypt this value and it will become like: myPassword=ENC(7;lajsdfpypaohsd;lahdafay....)

So far, that is all good and it seem to be working as expected.

However, decrypting will fail. After the successfull attempts above, my password is encrypted and looks like: myPassword=ENC(7;lajsdfpypaohsd;lahdafay....)

I would now like to decrypt it to get "somePassword" back so I do following: mvn jasypt:decrypt -Djasypt.encryptor.password=mysecret

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.ulisesbocchio:jasypt-maven-plugin:3.0.3:decrypt (default-cli) on project myapi: Error Decrypting: null: EncryptionOperationNotPossibleException

And the ENC(....) property in application.properties file is not replaced by DEC(....)
