Springfox 3.0.0 is not working with Spring Boot 2.6.0, after upgrading I am getting the following error
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Failed to start bean 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper'; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.condition.PatternsRequestCondition.getPatterns()" because "this.condition" is null

CodePudding user response：
I know this does not solve your problem directly, but consider moving to springdoc which most recent release supports Spring Boot 2.6.0. Springfox is so buggy at this point that is a pain to use. I've moved to springdoc 2 years ago because of its Spring WebFlux support and I am very happy about it. Additionally, it also supports Kotlin Coroutines, which I am not sure Springfox does.
If you decide to migrate, springdoc even has a migration guide.

Migration Steps:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
- Maintain only above dependency.
- Remove library inclusions of earlier releases. Specifically remove springfox-swagger2 and springfox-swagger-ui inclusions.
- Remove the @EnableSwagger2 annotations
- Add the springfox-boot-starter
- Springfox 3.x removes dependencies on guava and other 3rd party libraries (not zero dep yet! depends on spring plugin and open api libraries for annotations and models) so if you used guava predicates/functions those will need to transition to java 8 function interfaces
- If you are using WebMvc but you don’t use the @EnableWebMvc annotation yet, add this annotation.
