Spring-boot swagger 在 io.swagger.models.parameters.Parameter 上抛出 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Question

I am using the following spring-boot dependencies in order to generate a swagger file for my Spring-boot application:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>${swagger-fox.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <artifactId>swagger-annotations</artifactId>
                    <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>swagger-models</artifactId>
                <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
    <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
    <version>${swagger-fox.version}</version>
</dependency>

<properties>
        <swagger.version>1.6.0</swagger.version>
        <java.version>11</java.version>
        <dockerfile-maven-version>1.4.3</dockerfile-maven-version>
        <swagger-fox.version>2.9.2</swagger-fox.version>
</properties>

And this is the swagger configuration class, which I have included in my app:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableSwagger2
public class SpringFoxConfig {


    private static final String AUTHOR_MAIL = "xxx@xxx.com";

    private static final String API_TITLE = "DEMO  Service REST API";

    private static final String API_DESCRIPTION = "demo";

    private static final String API_BASE_PACKAGE = "demo_package";


    private ApiInfo getApiInfo() {
        return new ApiInfo(API_TITLE, API_DESCRIPTION, "V1", "", AUTHOR_MAIL,
                "","");
    }

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

Despite that when I run my app I get the following error:

Note that I also get a warning that the method ApiInfo is deprecated and suspect that error has something to do with it, however I am not sure about it. Could anyone help me figure out how to go about solving this? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Interface Parameter is from the swagger-models maven dependency.

To fix the issue simply remove the corresponding exclusion from the POM file:

<exclusion>
  <artifactId>swagger-models</artifactId>
  <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
</exclusion>

Answer 2

Swagger is not working properly in spring boot version 2.2.0 an above. You can use alternatively

"springdoc-openapi-ui"

Tutorial available at www.baeldung.com/spring-rest-openapi-documentation

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springdoc/springdoc-openapi-ui -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
    <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-ui</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.30</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

I could resolve my issue when I downgraded my version to 1.6.4 from 1.6.9
