Added Springfox Swagger-UI and it's not working, what am I missing?

Question

Following the instructions here:

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

I added these dependencies to my project:

compile "io.springfox:springfox-swagger2:2.7.0"
compile "io.springfox:springfox-swagger-ui:2.7.0"

and configured SpringFox Swagger like this:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import springfox.documentation.builders.PathSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.builders.RequestHandlerSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.spi.DocumentationType;
import springfox.documentation.spring.web.plugins.Docket;
import springfox.documentation.swagger2.annotations.EnableSwagger2;

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfig {
    @Bean
    public Docket api() {
        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                .select()
                .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())
                .paths(PathSelectors.any())
                .build();
    }
}

but the Swagger UI seems not to get enabled. I tried:

• http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html
• http://localhost:8080/api/swagger-ui.html
• http://localhost:8080/v2/api-docs/swagger-ui.html

and all I get is:

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Method Not Allowed, status=405).
Request method 'GET' not supported

and on the logs I see:

2017-09-11 09:54:31.020  WARN 15688 --- [nio-8080-exec-6] o.s.web.servlet.PageNotFound             : Request method 'GET' not supported
2017-09-11 09:54:31.020  WARN 15688 --- [nio-8080-exec-6] .w.s.m.s.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver : Resolved exception caused by Handler execution: org.springframework.web.HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException: Request method 'GET' not supported

http://localhost:8080/swagger-resources returns:

[{"name": "default",
  "location": "/v2/api-docs",
  "swaggerVersion": "2.0"}]

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I tried most of these answers and the final solution was creeping..

The right URL is the following

http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/

I'm using Springfox swagger-ui 3.x.x
