@FeignClient is not working with @Autowired in spring boot

Question

I have a feign client:

@FeignClient(name="admit-card-service")
public interface CallFeignClient {
    
    @GetMapping("centers")
    public List<CenterInfo> getCenterList();
}

which I'm calling from

@RestController
public class ClientController {
    
    @Autowired
    CallFeignClient callFeinClient;

    @GetMapping("clienCenters")
    public List<CenterInfo> getCenterLists(){
        return callFeinClient.getCenterList();
    }
}

But I'm getting the below Error :

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.example.demo.client.CallFeignClient': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

Can you please do us a favor an edit your question with correct formatting? Back to your question: does the application work without springfox dependencies? The version which you are using is quiet old, 2.0.1 is from Jun 2015, you might should update. — judomu, Oct 02 '19 at 19:16
Yes you are right,I'm using old version of swagger,Now It works fine Thanks — Pankaj Mittal, Oct 03 '19 at 18:41
