title: Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured. SPRING
body: <p>I've already checked all the similar questions and every answer says that I need to specify a driverClassName which I already do. Here is my application.yml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>spring:
    application:
      name: cibus-backend
    datasource:
      driverClassName: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
      url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Cibus?useSSL=true
      username: root
      password: 1234567890
    jpa:
      show-sql: true
      hibernate:
        ddl-auto: update
        properties:
        hibernate:
          format_sql: true
          type: trace
      database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
      database: mysql
  logging:
    level:
      org:
        hibernate:
          type: trace
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I missing something? The weird thing is that a classmate of mine who has the same code can start the app perfectly well. This is why I think it has something to do with the path. Maybe spring isn't accessing the yml file. I included it in src.main.resources which is the default place where Spring looks for it.
  Here is the stacktrace:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run

  APPLICATION FAILED TO START

  Description:
  
  Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured.
  
  Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class
  
  
  Action:
  
  Consider the following:
      If you want an embedded database (H2, HSQL or Derby), please put it on the classpath.
      If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile you may need to activate it (no profiles are currently active).
