Springfox swagger not working in spring boot 2.2.0

spring spring-boot spring-data-jpa swagger-2.0 springfox
Joyson Rego picture Joyson Rego · Oct 30, 2019 · Viewed 19.8k times · Source

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

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>
    <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
    <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-data-rest</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

Repository

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>jcenter-snapshots</id>
            <name>jcenter</name>
            <url>http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

Sample Configuration

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

Note: It seems SpringFox is not dead.
