Spring Boot Swagger 2 Configuration Error creating bean with name 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper'

Question

I have problems with configuration of Swagger in my Spring Boot project. I was following the basic instruction for this, and somehow it doesn's work.

Here it is: pom.xml

 <!--SWAGGER-->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.0</version>
    </dependency>

Java Swagger Config:

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

And i am getting this Exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper' defined in URL [jar:file:/C:/Users/Admin/.m2/repository/io/springfox/springfox-spring-web/2.4.0/springfox-spring-web-2.4.0.jar!/springfox/documentation/spring/web/plugins/DocumentationPluginsBootstrapper.class]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.ProxyTransactionManagementConfiguration': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.transaction.annotation.ProxyTransactionManagementConfiguration.setBeanFactory(Lorg/springframework/beans/factory/BeanFactory;)V

Answer 1

Fixed it with removing @Configuration annotation in SwaggerConfuguration class.

Only keep @EnableSwagger2 annotation

@EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfiguration {

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

P.S. My dependencies:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>2.6.1</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
            <version>2.6.1</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

Answer 2

In SpringMVC, if you want to use Swagger2,you need add '@EnableWebMvc' in you config class,like this:

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
@EnableWebMvc
public class Swagger2Config {
   ……
}
