Springfox swagger not working in spring boot 2.2.0

spring spring-boot spring-data-jpa swagger-2.0 springfox

Solution 1

Fixed!!!

The issue exists as spring fox libraries internally depend on spring-plugin-core:1.2.0 but it actually requires spring-plugin-core:2.0.0. This dependency correction seems to be missing in the SNAPSHOT version of the swagger libraries for supporting web flux.

We just need to correct Maven dependencies as given below and no code change is required:

  • Maven POM Dependencies fix
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>

<dependency>

</dependency>
  • Swagger Configuration: (Same as before just for reference)
    @Configuration
    @EnableSwagger2WebFlux
    public class SwaggerConfiguration {

        @Bean
        public Docket api(final TypeResolver typeResolver) {
            return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                    .select()
                    .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())
                    .paths(PathSelectors.any())
                    .build();
        }
    }

Solution 2

You can use SpringFox 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT with Spring Boot 2.2.X

  • Since it is a SNAPSHOT version, it is not published in the official repository of maven and needs to be pulled from jcenter-snapshots
  • @EnableSwagger2 is removed and changed to @EnableSwagger2WebMvc and @EnableSwagger2WebFlux

Maven

    <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    </dependency>

    </repositories>

Sample Configuration

@EnableSwagger2WebMvc
@Import(SpringDataRestConfiguration.class)
public class SpringFoxConfig {
    //...
}

References

  1. Springfox docs

  2. https://www.baeldung.com/swagger-2-documentation-for-spring-rest-api

Note: It seems SpringFox is not dead.

Solution 3

Apparently, since SpringFox is abandoned and its last version is no long compatible with Spring Boot 2.2.X, you will have to look for alternatives (see issue reported in Github here).

One possible option is to use OpenAPI docs. For that you need to remove the SpringFoxdependencies and add these:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
            <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-ui</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.15</version>
        </dependency>
         <dependency>
              <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
              <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-webmvc-core</artifactId>
              <version>1.2.15</version>
        </dependency>

Also, you will have to remove the Swagger configuration class and provide this:

    @Configuration
    public class OpenApiConfig {

    @Bean
    public OpenAPI customOpenAPI() {
        return new OpenAPI()
                .components(new Components())
                .info(new Info().title("Contact Application API").description(
                        "This is a sample Spring Boot RESTful service using springdoc-openapi and OpenAPI 3."));
    }
}

In my case, everything seems to work with the exception of the JPA Rest repositories that are not being exposed. I will update this answer with a fix, if I find one.

These are some of the links I was checking to fix this:

I upgraded to Springfox Swagger2 to 3.0.0 version and spring plugin code to 2.0.0.RELEASE version. It worked for me.

  • Spring Boot Version - 2.3.9.RELEASE
<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.plugin</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-plugin-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
        </dependency>

Solution 5

Remove HATEOS dependency, but add only swagger. It works 

//  Using only the swagger as of now, since hateos is not updated the fix for Spring 2.1.X and above
compile group: 'io.springfox', name: 'springfox-swagger-ui', version: '2.9.2'
compile group: 'io.springfox', name: 'springfox-swagger2', version: '2.9.2'

    I want to upgrade spring boot v2.1.9 to 2.2.0. But after the upgrade I am getting some exceptions, which says spring fox is using an older version of spring-plugin-core.

    Is there any alternate solution for this or do I need to give up the springfox plugin?

Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

    springfox.documentation.spring.web.plugins.DocumentationPluginsManager.createContextBuilder(DocumentationPluginsManager.java:152)

The following method did not exist:

    org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry.getPluginFor(Ljava/lang/Object;Lorg/springframework/plugin/core/Plugin;)Lorg/springframework/plugin/core/Plugin;

The method's class, org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/regosa/.m2/repository/org/springframework/plugin/spring-plugin-core/2.0.0.RELEASE/spring-plugin-core-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/plugin/core/PluginRegistry.class

It was loaded from the following location:

    file:/C:/Users/regosa/.m2/repository/org/springframework/plugin/spring-plugin-core/2.0.0.RELEASE/spring-plugin-core-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry
