spring-boot jpa postgresql hibernate Java

I'm migrating some code and I just started working with I'm deploying to production and I tried several approaches but none seem to work..... I'm working with a `BeanCreationException` when starting my Spring Boot application which uses JPA with PostgreSQL. The full behavior message states: `behavior creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.spi.StrategySelectionException: Unable to resolve name 'hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect'`. I double-checked my `application.properties` file and ensured the following configurations are set: ```properties spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb spring.datasource.username=myuser spring.datasource.password=mypassword spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update spring.jpa.show-sql=true spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect ``` I have PostgreSQL version 13 installed, and the `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa` dependency is included in my `pom.xml`: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId> <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId> <version>42.2.23</version> </dependency> ``` I've also tried updating the Hibernate version to 5.4.30.Final, as specified in the Spring Boot documentation for version 2.5.4, but the behavior continues. I've verified that the PostgreSQL JDBC driver is included in the classpath and there are no typos in the dialect name. It's quite puzzling since I have successfully run similar configurations before. Could there be an scenario with the classpath or versions that I’m overlooking? Any help would be appreciated! This is for a service running on Linux. I'm working in a macOS environment.
