I am walking through ‘Spring Boot development on OpenShift’ at this site https://learn.openshift.com/developing-with-spring/

on ‘6. Run and Verify step where it is testing out the Fruit Repository. This is in Step 2 of 5 .

I am receiving these errors

Yes, I've got it also. It is caused because they use Spring Boot 1.5 and it doesn't have findById in Spring Data, only findOne (not Optional). If you rename method findById -> findOne and remove 'orElse' part it will work.

We have updated to newer Spring and verified all of the scenarios work as expected. Please re-test at your convenience.
