People who are still getting error even after trying above methods can try this (this solved my problem)

@Query(value = "normal Sql query", nativeQuery=true).

I'm developing Spring MVC + Spring-data-jpa + querydsl to which I'm newbie. When I write a code for querydsl (before that code was working fine), when I added querydsl related code, I started getting the following error not sure what's going wrong. Please guide.

The error for reference:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'visitRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Validation failed for query for method public abstract java.util.List com.journaldev.spring.repository.VisitRepository.findByVisitType()!
