'Correct the classpath of your application' in a Springboot Configuration in IntelliJ

I have such an application with an IntelliJ-Idea IDE that has a Springboot configuration that errors out and gives the following recommendation:

The following method did not exist:

org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext.setApplicationStartup(Lorg/springframework/core/metrics/ApplicationStartup;)V

The method's class, org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext, is available from the following locations:

jar:file:/C:/Users/tlmitch/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context/5.2.8.RELEASE/spring-context-5.2.8.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/context/ConfigurableApplicationContext.class

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext

I'm relatively new to IntelliJ-Idea and Springboot. If this were say Eclipse - I would probably just go to the Java Build Path and add the jar file that contains the class.

I'm less familiar with IntelliJ. So far if something is missing, I've just been running 'npm install' and that usually takes care of it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much

As error suggests:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext

you need to make sure your classpath contains only one such class. You can use Navigate | Class action to see if there are multiple versions of this class exists in project and exclude the duplicated library dependency in Maven pom.xml file.

If you've added Spring dependencies in your pom.xml file, they might be conflicting with the Spring dependencies in the lib folder in your project directory. Deleting the lib folder will fix this. (just make sure your project does not depend on other libraries in the lib folder before deleting).
