java spring spring-boot trace spring-cloud-sleuth

App is failing with "required a bean of type 'brave.Tracer' that could not be found" while trying to get Sleuth's trace

I am calling my Springboot app from another micro service to get the trace & span id's but getting error while starting the app. What I want to do is create Trace & Span in app1 and then call app2 and get the Trace id passed from app1 in app2. In app1 I am able to get the trace & span but in app2 where I want to fetch that trace its failing. I have tried to refer this.

Error that I get is:

Description:

Parameter 0 of constructor in com.test.demo1.filter.MyFilter required a bean of type 'brave.Tracer' that could not be found.

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'brave.Tracer' in your configuration." I also tried creating the bean but is giving error "The constructor Tracer() is undefined"

Below is my simple RestController & pom.xml

package com.test.demo1.controller;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import brave.Tracer;


@RestController
@Component
public class Greeting {

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Greeting.class.getName());
    
    @Autowired
    Tracer tracer;

    @RequestMapping("/greeting")
    public String greeting() {
        logger.info("Hello info from from spring sleuth");
        logger.info("tracer is -----> "+tracer.currentSpan().context().traceIdString());
        System.out.println("tracer-id :"+ tracer.currentSpan().context().traceIdString());
        return "Hello";
    }

}

Solution

You've provided Sleuth in version 1.0.0 which is a couple of years old. Please go to start.spring.io to generate a project with Sleuth as its dependency. Then you'll be sure that you don't have mixed up the dependencies manually.

Example of proper setup
