first i had a small issue with this class brave.sampler.Sampler

could not import this class, only imported when i added this dependency

   <dependency>
        <groupId>io.zipkin.brave</groupId>
        <artifactId>brave</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.5</version>
    </dependency>  

and my big problem is, when i tried to use zipkin for disturbed tracing, i added the required dependency but whenever i start the applications, it through an exception in start.

and this is the stack trace.

i would someone to help me fix those issues, also i want to understand why this exception comes, and why the sampler class does not imported only when i add it's dependency, but i see in other projects codes there are no needs for the dependency.


Solution 1:

after many searches, i found that there are a version conflicts between the dependencies. and thanks for vladimir-vagaytsev

so, i see that spring-cloud-starter-sleuth imported as a different version.

to fix it i have added sleuth.version to properties in pom.xml like so.

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <spring-cloud.version>Finchley.SR1</spring-cloud.version>
        <sleuth.version>2.0.1.RELEASE</sleuth.version>
    </properties> 

then in dependency management we need to specify the version like so

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-sleuth</artifactId>
            <version>${sleuth.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

after then remove unused dependencies build and run.
