Trying to reach swagger-ui or api/api-docs but got a 404 error

Question

It's my first post so feel free to leave some feedback or if i do something wrong :)

I am using spring-boot and resteasy :

<!-- Spring Boot -->
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
 <version>2.1.0.RELEASE</version>
 <type>pom</type>
 <scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.paypal.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>resteasy-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.4-RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I am trying to use Swagger to have a view of my endpoints, so I added this dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
    <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
    <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.2</version>
</dependency>

This dependencies are loaded to my repo, everything looks good.

I added this class to make the easiest config class :

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

When i Launch the app in the debug mod I enter in this previous Bean. Evrything looks fine.

When I launch the Spring app :

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={MongoAutoConfiguration.class,RabbitAutoConfiguration.class})
public class SituationServicesApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SituationServicesApplication.class, args);
    }
    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
    }
}

Everything looks fine :

2019-07-06 15:43:27.222  INFO 6336 --- [           main] pertySourcedRequestMappingHandlerMapping : Mapped URL path [v2/api-docs] onto method [public org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity<springfox.documentation.spring.web.json.Json> springfox.documentation.swagger2.web.Swagger2Controller.getDocumentation(java.lang.String,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)]

---

But when I try to reach the swagger-ui.html :

http://localhost:8092/test/v2/api-docs

or

http://localhost:8092/test/swagger-ui.html

I've got a 404 error :

"RESTEASY003210: Could not find resource for full path: http://localhost:8092/test/v2/api-docs".

I tried to modify the default URL by adding a property : springfox.documentation.swagger.v2.path=v2/api-docs-test

It stills 404.

I tried from scratch with a new empty project and it worked just fine. Something is wrong with my project I guess.

I am sure of the URL used.

Do you know how I can debug this issue? Can I see some created source from Swagger? If I can put some log on it to know where the issue comes from?

If you are using Spring Security, then you have to add some more configuration as below.

Complete Working Example

SecurityConfig.java

package com.swagger.demo.security;


import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.http.HttpMethod;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.EnableGlobalMethodSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.WebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;


@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter implements WebMvcConfigurer{

    //Swagger Resources
        @Override 
        public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
            registry.addResourceHandler("swagger-ui.html").addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/");
            registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/");
        }

    //If you are using Spring Security Add Below Configuration

    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web
          .ignoring()
            .antMatchers("/v2/api-docs", "/configuration/**", "/swagger*/**", "/webjars/**")
            .antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS,"/**");
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception{

         http
         .csrf().disable()
         .authorizeRequests()
         .antMatchers("/**", "/v2/api-docs", "/configuration/**", "/swagger*/**", "/webjars/**")
         .permitAll()
         .anyRequest().authenticated(); 
    }

}

SwaggerConfig.java

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import springfox.documentation.builders.PathSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.builders.RequestHandlerSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.spi.DocumentationType;
import springfox.documentation.spring.web.plugins.Docket;
import springfox.documentation.swagger2.annotations.EnableSwagger2;
@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfig {
   @Bean
   public Docket apiDocket() {

       Docket docket =  new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                .select()
                .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.basePackage("com.swagger.demo"))
                .paths(PathSelectors.any())
                .build();

       return docket;

    } 
}
