Spring Boot 2 - Unsatisfied dependency on Feign client when autowired for service

Question

I have a pretty simple situation and I've tried a few things now and I can't find the cause of this issue. It claims it can not Autowire the Feign client class though this is how I have done this in Spring Boot 1.5.9. At least I'm pretty sure. Things work fine in all my unit tests though I'm mocking this client. Formerly it was a part of an imported library however to eliminate possibilities of me not properly locating the bean I just added it to the same project.

I'm not the most experienced with Spring or Feign so I'm wondering if it's obvious what I'm missing here.

Simple feign client:

@FeignClient(name = "my-other-service")
public interface OtherServiceClient {

    @GetMapping(value = "/foo/{fooId}")
    @ResponseBody
    String getFoo(@PathVariable int fooId);
}

Main application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableDiscoveryClient
@EnableFeignClients
// Had a component scan here when in other module
public class MyServiceApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MyServiceApplication.class, args);
    }
}

The service that depends on the feign client:

@Service
public class FooService {
    private final FooRepository fooRepository;
    private final BarRepository barRepository;
    private OtherServiceClient otherServiceClient;

    @Autowired
    public OrderService(
            FooRepository fooRepository,
            BarRepository barRepository,
            OtherServiceClient otherServiceClient) {
        this.fooRepository= fooRepository;
        this.barRepository = barRepository;
        this.otherServiceClient = otherServiceClient;
    }

Since it might be an auto config thing here is the configuration report:

    Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:50881', transport: 'socket'

    Process finished with exit code 0    

I'm pretty stumped at this point.

EDIT:

Update, so, in order to investigate more as I was confident the service started prior to beginning the Feign work I commented out all references to the feign client and the feign client itself except the the configuration annotations on the application class. I still see the reference to the database driver on start up but the application does indeed run. This is the exception I see on start up but without Feign interactions the application starts.

The database driver is on the older side so I might see about updating it to the ojdbc8 driver maybe while I'm at it...

Answer 1

There was an issue in feign client before. I guess you are experiencing the same maybe because you are using an old version but what you should do is including the pathVariable name in your @PathVariable annotation like this @RequestMapping(value = "/hello/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET) String hello(@PathVariable(value = "name") String name);

You can find the details from here

Answer 2

When you using rest feign client service we need to define exact @Pathvariable name.

@GetMapping("/hello-world/from/{from}/to/{to}")
 public String getHelloWorld(@PathVariable("from") String from, @PathVariable ("to") String to);
