Solution

Make sure your project pom.xml exists in your terminal’s working directory when you run the mvn spring-boot:run command. The basic configurations for the pom.xml file to run a spring boot project are shown below.

pom.xml

<parent>
	<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
	<version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

<build>
	<plugins>
		<!-- run $ mvn package, generating an executable jar -->
		<plugin>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
</build>

Reason

I run the mvn spring-boot:run command not in my project root directory.
