Exception occured when trying to do tracing with Spring Boot project using Spring Sleuth and OpenTelemetry

Question

I wanted to enable tracing in a Java Spring Boot project using Spring Sleuth and OpenTelemetry. The traces need to be exported to Lightstep. I added spring-cloud-starter-sleuth, spring-cloud-sleuth-otel-autoconfigure, opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-trace and grpc-okhttp dependencies. I added the following in the pom.xml.

<dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
                <version>2021.0.4</version>
                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>import</scope>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>

                <artifactId>spring-cloud-sleuth-otel-dependencies</artifactId>
                <version>1.1.0</version>
                <scope>import</scope>
                <type>pom</type>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

Added the following properties in application.properties file.

spring.sleuth.propagation.type=W3C
spring.sleuth.otel.exporter.otlp.endpoint=${OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT}

When I run the application I get the following exception.

When I check the dependency tree I get the following output.

Appreciate if someone has a clue on what's going on :D.

You probably want to have the same version for all OTEL libraries. — Gaël J

looks like spring-cloud-sleuth-otel-autoconfigure pulls in io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common:1.16 as transient dependency which has a different constructor than the one in version 1.14

nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'io.opentelemetry.exporter.internal.grpc.GrpcExporterBuilder io.opentelemetry.exporter.internal.grpc.GrpcExporter.builder(java.lang.String, long, java.net.URI, java.util.function.Supplier, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

if you pin the version of the transient dependency io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common to 1.14 it should work.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.opentelemetry</groupId>
        <artifactId>io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common</artifactId>
        <version>1.14.0</version>
    </dependency>

add this to your import section. I also used a more recent version of org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-sleuth-otel-dependencies:1.1.0-M7

For testing i used this config

spring:
  sleuth:
    otel:
      sdk:
        disabled: false
    metrics: ""
    logs: ""
    exporter:
      otlp:
        enabled: true
        endpoint: http://localhost:4317

i hope this helps
