When encountering the error “error building configuration in an external startup class,” it typically means that there is an issue with the configuration of an external startup class in your application. This error is commonly seen in web applications using frameworks like Spring Boot or ASP.NET Core.

To resolve this error, you need to carefully review and fix the configuration setup in the external startup class. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this error:

1. Missing Dependency Injection

   In some cases, the error can be due to missing dependency injection of required services or components in the startup class. Make sure that all the necessary dependencies are correctly injected using the appropriate annotations or configuration methods.

   Example:

   
   @Service
   public class MyService {
     // ...
   }
   
   @Configuration
   public class MyConfig {
     @Autowired
     private MyService myService;
     
     // ...
   }
         

2. Incorrect Configuration Setup

   The error may also occur if there are mistakes or misconfigurations in the setup of the external startup class. Double-check that all the necessary configuration methods or annotations are added correctly.

   @Configuration
   public class MyConfig {
     @Bean
     public MyService myService() {
       return new MyService();
     }
     
     // ...
   }
         

3. Conflict with Other Configuration Classes

   If multiple external startup classes are present in your application, there could be conflicts between them. Ensure that there are no clashes or duplications in the configuration setup across different classes.

   Example:

   
   @Configuration
   public class MyConfig1 {
     // ...
   }

   public class MyConfig2 {
     // ...
