Error while fetching enum value from database: No enum constant, nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException


I was trying to build a sample application in which user can add a post and others can upvote or downvote it. I have taken Vote as an entity class which saves the data whether the user has upvoted or downvoted. upvote and downvote are represented as an enum. When I was trying to fetch all votes by a post id and user id then I am getting an error as No enum constant com.sachinmukherjee.model.VoteType.up; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: at java.lang.Enum.valueOf()

My Vote Class (Vote.java) looks like this

package com.sachinmukherjee.model;
@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Entity
public class Vote {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private long id;
    @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
    @Column(length = 4)
    private VoteType voteType;
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    @JoinColumn(name = "post_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private Post post;
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "user_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private User user;
}

My VoteType (VoteType.java) enum class looks like this

package com.sachinmukherjee.model;
public enum VoteType {
    UPVOTE("up"), DOWNVOTE("down"),;

    private String direction;

    VoteType(String direction) {
            this.direction = direction;
    }
    
    public String getDirection() {
        return direction;
    }
    
    public static VoteType getVoteType(String direction) {
        switch (direction) {
        case "up":
            return VoteType.valueOf(direction);
        case "down":
            return VoteType.valueOf(direction);
        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Vote");
        }
    }
}

My VoteRepository (VoteRepository.java) class looks like this

@Repository
public interface VoteRepository extends JpaRepository<Vote, Long> {
    
    List<Vote> findByPostAndUser(Post post,User user);
}

My VoteService (VoteService.java) class looks like this

@Service
@Transactional
public class VoteService {
    
    @Autowired
    private VoteRepository voteRepository;
    @Autowired
    private PostRepository postRepository;
    @Autowired
    private AuthService authService;
    
    public void vote(VoteDto voteDto) {
        User user = authService.getCurrentUser();
        Post post = postRepository.findById(Long.valueOf(voteDto.getPostId()));
        try {
            List<Vote> vote = voteRepository.findByPostAndUser(post, user);
        }catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

My database table structure of vote table looks like this

+-----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field     | Type       | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id        | bigint(20) | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| vote_type | varchar(4) | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| post_id   | bigint(20) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
| user_id   | bigint(20) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
+-----------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

I'm new to Java and spring boot and not getting what I have missed. Edit Full stacktrace of the exception

Solution

  • You should have UPVOTE or DOWNVOTE as values in the db. Because JPA will look for enum with the same name.

    If you had already stored the value in db, delete it and recreate it via your application.
