Spring Boot + Springbox swagger error

Question

I have a spring boot project want to integrate with swagger via springbox.

I have my spring boot app up and running all good.

However after I added springbox, it can not pass unit test.

Here are the details I added in project.

For pom.xml, added

  <!--Swagger io for API doc-->
  <dependency>
        <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
        <artifactId>swagger-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.3</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.2</version>
    </dependency>

then with a swagger config class

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfig {

@Bean
public Docket booksApi() {
    return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
            .apiInfo(apiInfo())
            .select()
            .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())
            .paths(PathSelectors.regex("/.*"))
            .build();
}

private ApiInfo apiInfo() {
    return new ApiInfoBuilder()
            .title("blah")
            .description("blah.")
            .termsOfServiceUrl("http://www.blah.com.au")
            .contact("blah")
            .build();
}

}

The error I am getting when run mvn clean package is

  org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'webMvcRequestHandlerProvider' defined in URL [jar:file:/Users/jasonfeng/.m2/repository/io/springfox/springfox-spring-web/2.2.2/springfox-spring-web-2.2.2.jar!/springfox/documentation/spring/web/plugins/WebMvcRequestHandlerProvider.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [java.util.List]: : No qualifying bean of type [org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.RequestMappingInfoHandlerMapping] found for dependency [collection of org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.RequestMappingInfoHandlerMapping]: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

the version I am using is

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

Answer 1

Been looking into this problem for the while morning without luck, then posted this question. Just after posted the question, I found out the solution for this..... (I blame on the not-so-good morning coffee)

Simply remove the @Configuration annotation in the swagger configuration class.

Here is the link I refer to
