ERROR: column is of type json but expression is of type character varying in Hibernate

I need to map two columns of entity class as json in postgres using spring data jpa. After reading multiple stackoverflow posts and baeldung post ,

How to map a map JSON column to Java Object with JPA

https://www.baeldung.com/hibernate-persist-json-object

I did configuration as below. However, I am facing error "ERROR: column "headers" is of type json but expression is of type character varying"

Please provide some pointer to resolve this issue.

I have an entity class as below

@Entity
@Data
@SuperBuilder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class Task {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    private Integer id;
    
    private String url;
    private String httpMethod;

    @Convert(converter = HashMapConverter.class)
    @Column(columnDefinition = "json")
    private Map<String, String> headers;

    @Convert(converter = HashMapConverter.class)
    @Column(columnDefinition = "json")
    private Map<String, String> urlVariables;
}

I have created a test class to test if entity is persisted or not. On running this junit, below test case is failing with error as below

@SpringBootTest
class TaskRepositoryTest {

    private static Task randomTask = randomTask();

    @Autowired
    private TaskRepository taskRepository;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        taskRepository.deleteAll();
        taskRepository.save(randomTask);
    }

    public static Task randomTask() {
        return randomTaskBuilder().build();
    }

    public static TaskBuilder randomTaskBuilder() {
        Map<String,String> headers = new HashMap<>();
        headers.put(randomAlphanumericString(10),randomAlphanumericString(10));

        Map<String,String> urlVariables = new HashMap<>();
        urlVariables.put(randomAlphanumericString(10),randomAlphanumericString(10));

        return builder()
                .id(randomPositiveInteger())
                .httpMethod(randomAlphanumericString(10))
                .headers(headers)
                .urlVariables(urlVariables)
                .url(randomAlphanumericString(10)));
    }
}

Using liquibase, I have created table in postgres DB and I could see column datatype as json.
