Springboot 2.6.0 / Spring fox 3 - Failed to start bean 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper'

Time:11-20

I'm trying to initiate a Springboot project using Open Jdk 15, Springboot 2.6.0, Springfox 3. We are working on a project that replaced Netty as the webserver and used Jetty instead because we do not need a non-blocking environment. In the code we depend primarily on Reactor API (Flux, Mono), so we can not remove org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux dependencies.

I replicated the problem that we have in a new project.: https://github.com/jvacaq/spring-fox. Fell free to grag a copy.

I figured out that these lines in our build.gradle file are the origin of the problem.

compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {
   exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
}
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty")

Here is the build.gradle file

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.6.0'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '11'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {
        exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
    }
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty")
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    testImplementation 'io.projectreactor:reactor-test'
    implementation "io.springfox:springfox-boot-starter:3.0.0"
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

I issued the command gradle clean bootrun. The result is this error: Does anyone have an idea how to solve it?

 gradle clean bootrun

CodePudding user response:

This problem's caused by a bug in Springfox. It's making an assumption about how Spring MVC is set up that doesn't always hold true. Specifically, it's assuming that MVC's path matching will use the Ant-based path matcher and not the PathPattern-based matcher. PathPattern-based matching has been an option for some time now and is the default as of Spring Boot 2.6.

As described in Spring Boot 2.6's release notes, you can restore the configuration that Springfox assumes will be used by setting spring.mvc.pathmatch.matching-strategy to ant-path-matcher in your application.properties file.

CodePudding user response:

Not a solution but ... I downgraded spring-boot-starter-parent version from 2.6.0 to 2.5.6 and It started to work.
