Failed to start bean 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper

spring boot 项目启动报错

Failed to start bean 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper'; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

环境说明

• spring boot 2.6.13
• springfox-swagger 2.10.5

解决办法（一）

在配置类中，添加下面bean的信息

@Bean
public static BeanPostProcessor springfoxHandlerProviderBeanPostProcessor() {
    return new BeanPostProcessor() {

        @Override
        public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
            if (bean instanceof WebMvcRequestHandlerProvider) {
                customizeSpringfoxHandlerMappings(getHandlerMappings(bean));
            }
            return bean;
        }

        private <T extends RequestMappingInfoHandlerMapping> void customizeSpringfoxHandlerMappings(List<T> mappings) {
            List<T> copy = mappings.stream()
                    .filter(mapping -> mapping.getPatternParser() == null)
                    .collect(Collectors.toList());
            mappings.clear();
            mappings.addAll(copy);
        }

        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        private List<RequestMappingInfoHandlerMapping> getHandlerMappings(Object bean) {
            try {
                Field field = ReflectionUtils.findField(bean.getClass(), "handlerMappings");
                field.setAccessible(true);
                return (List<RequestMappingInfoHandlerMapping>) field.get(bean);
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e) {
                throw new IllegalStateException(e);
            }
        }
    };
}

重要提示：上面的方法虽然解决启动报错，但是由于没有修改默认的地址策略，swagger配置还需要修改才能映射出文档信息

解决办法二

2.1 修改mvc匹配策略

编辑application.yml配置文件，修改mvc的匹配策略为ANT，默认是PATH

spring:
 mvc:
  pathmatch:
    # fix swagger error
    matching-strategy: ant_path_matcher

2.2 配置类添加以下配置

/**
 * 增加如下配置可解决Spring Boot  与Swagger 3.0.0 不兼容问题
 **/
@Bean
public WebMvcEndpointHandlerMapping webEndpointServletHandlerMapping(WebEndpointsSupplier webEndpointsSupplier, ServletEndpointsSupplier servletEndpointsSupplier, ControllerEndpointsSupplier controllerEndpointsSupplier, EndpointMediaTypes endpointMediaTypes, CorsEndpointProperties corsProperties, WebEndpointProperties webEndpointProperties, Environment environment) {
    List<ExposableEndpoint<?>> allEndpoints = new ArrayList();
    Collection<ExposableWebEndpoint> webEndpoints = webEndpointsSupplier.getEndpoints();
    allEndpoints.addAll(webEndpoints);
    allEndpoints.addAll(servletEndpointsSupplier.getEndpoints());
    allEndpoints.addAll(controllerEndpointsSupplier.getEndpoints());
    String basePath = webEndpointProperties.getBasePath();
    EndpointMapping endpointMapping = new EndpointMapping(basePath);
    boolean shouldRegisterLinksMapping = this.shouldRegisterLinksMapping(webEndpointProperties, environment, basePath);
    return new WebMvcEndpointHandlerMapping(endpointMapping, webEndpoints, endpointMediaTypes, corsProperties.toCorsConfiguration(), new EndpointLinksResolver(allEndpoints, basePath), shouldRegisterLinksMapping, null);
}
private boolean shouldRegisterLinksMapping(WebEndpointProperties webEndpointProperties, Environment environment, String basePath) {
    return webEndpointProperties.getDiscovery().isEnabled() && (StringUtils.hasText(basePath) || ManagementPortType.get(environment).equals(ManagementPortType.DIFFERENT));
}

以上两种方式解决spring boot 高版本和swagger不兼容问题，推荐使用方法二，能完美兼容swagger使用，不用修改其他。
