When you are using maven as a build tool in your Spring Boot project you will get this error if there is no Maven wrapper found inside the root directory of your project. You would have forgotten to commit it in your repository.

./mvnw: line 276: /home/john/poopcode-spring-batch-batch/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties: No such file or directory
/home/john/poopcode-spring-batch-batch/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.jar: No such file or directory

To generate the maven wrapper files inside your root directory of your project , run the following command.

mvn -N io.takari:maven:wrapper
