looks like it cannot find constructor when HalHandlerInstantiator, cause there‘s no 4-argument construction method here

Jackson2HalModule.HalHandlerInstantiator halHandlerInstantiator = new Jackson2HalModule.HalHandlerInstantiator(
				linkRelationProvider.getIfAvailable(), curieProviderInstance, messageResolver.getIfAvailable(),
				configuration);

Do you have any suggestion about this issue?

In its currently release version, Spring Cloud doesn't seem to prepared to accommodate the changes made in the minor release of Spring HATEOAS. Can you leave a few words on what kind of upgrade you're trying to achieve in the first place? Is it a Boot upgrade? Is it as HATEOAS upgrade only? If so, what's the reason behind those upgrades?

While it's generally only recommended to use Spring Cloud versions with the dependencies declared compatible more information on your upgrade scenario would help us to find out, what we could do to mitigate the pain.

Thanks for your reply. I decide to use org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-hateoas instead of org.springframework.hateoas:spring-hateoas to make hateoas accommodate with spring cloud version.
