Migration netflix feign in Springboot 1.x to openfeign in Springboot 2.x

Question

I try doing migration Springboot 1.x.y (Brussels-SR12) to 2.x.y. I use FeignClients

I change Maven configuration:

<spring-cloud.version>Finchley.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>

so

<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-openfeign</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>

I change all import:

import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.feign.EnableFeignClients;

import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.feign.FeignClient;

to

import org.springframework.cloud.openfeign.EnableFeignClients;

import org.springframework.cloud.openfeign.FeignClient;

I use this interface:

@FeignClient(value = "COMPANY", fallbackFactory = CompanyClientFallbackFactory.class, configuration = FeignConfiguration.class)
public interface CompanyClient extends CompanyApi {
}

When I run my JUnit tests (with spring context), i have this error now (not in Springboot 1.x.y and old netflix package):

The bean 'COMPANY.FeignClientSpecification', defined in null, could not be registered. A bean with that name has already been defined in null and overriding is disabled.

Answer 1

that's the solution from the Feign documentation:

If we want to create multiple feign clients with the same name or url so that they would point to the same server but each with a different custom configuration then we have to use contextId attribute of the @FeignClient in order to avoid name collision of these configuration beans.

@FeignClient(contextId = "fooClient", name = "stores", configuration = FooConfiguration.class)
public interface FooClient {
    //..
}

@FeignClient(contextId = "barClient", name = "stores", configuration = BarConfiguration.class)
public interface BarClient {
    //..
}

Answer 2

Probably you have multiple @FeignClient definitions with the same name attribute.
