Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spring_initializer' ↓

cause Library not installed or imported incorrectly.

fix

Run pip install spring-initializer and use from spring_initializer import create_spring_project.

error requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='start.spring.io', port=443) ↓

cause No internet access or proxy issues.

fix

Check your internet connection and ensure you can reach https://start.spring.io. If behind a proxy, configure environment variables HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY.

Warnings

gotcha The `create_spring_project` function requires an internet connection to access Spring Initializr. Without it, the function raises a ConnectionError. ↓

fix Ensure your environment has outbound HTTPS access to start.spring.io.

gotcha All parameters to `create_spring_project` are positional-only and must be passed in the exact order unless using keyword arguments. ↓

fix Always use keyword arguments for clarity: create_spring_project(name='MyApp', language='java', ...).
