There is error showing in antMatchers

**I'm getting an error for "antMatchers". It is not recognised. I have tied searching but did not get any thing related to this. Error is: The method antMatchers(String) is undefined for the type AuthorizeHttpRequestsConfigurer.AuthorizationManagerRequestMatcherRegistry

How to fix it? **

This method has changed to :

.requestMatchers({your-matcher})

So, in your case :

http
    .csrf()
    .disable()          
    .authorizeHttpRequests()
    .requestMatchers("/api/v1/auth/login").permitAll()
    .anyRequest()
    .authenticated()
    // ...

More information : https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/servlet/authorization/authorize-http-requests.html

I hope this has helped you
