@EnableFeignClients and @FeignClient fail on Autowiring 'FeignContext' NoSuchBeanException

Question

The microservice I'm writting needs to communicate to other microservices in our platform. On that attempt, the ideal solution for us is Spring Cloud Netflix Feign, implemeting a @FeignClient.

However, I'm facing the exception below when I try an @Autowired ReviewProvider:

Exception (cause)

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.cloud.netflix.feign.FeignContext' available

ReviewProvider.java

@FeignClient("http://metadata-reviews")
public interface ReviewProvider {

    @RequestMapping(path = "sessions", method = POST)
    ReviewSessionDTO createSession();

}

ReviewProvider.java

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@ActiveProfiles(INTEGRATION)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = AppEntry.class)
@AutoConfigureTestDatabase(replace = Replace.NONE)
@DataJpaTest
public class ReviewProviderTest {

    @Autowired
    private ReviewProvider provider;
    private Class<? extends ReviewProvider> providerClass;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        providerClass = provider.getClass();
    }

    @Test
    public void classAnnotations() {
        assertTrue(providerClass.isAnnotationPresent(FeignClient.class));
        assertEquals("http://metadata-reviews", providerClass.getAnnotation(FeignClient.class).value());
    }

    @Test
    public void createSession() throws Exception {
        final Method method = providerClass.getDeclaredMethod("createSession");
        assertTrue(method.isAnnotationPresent(RequestMapping.class));

        final RequestMapping mapping = method.getAnnotation(RequestMapping.class);
        assertEquals("sessions", mapping.path());
        assertEquals(0, method.getParameters().toString());
    }
}

Seems like there is not anything out there yet about the solution to this stuff...

Here is what I did to solve this: 1. Add this annotation to your test class:

@ImportAutoConfiguration({RibbonAutoConfiguration.class, FeignRibbonClientAutoConfiguration.class, FeignAutoConfiguration.class})

Try it, if it does not work, you might need the @EnableFeignClients annotation on your main program config
