Swagger API error

[andrewcosta1109]

While accessing swagger API, I get java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.springframework.web.method.ControllerAdviceBean.(java.lang.Object)':

I'm using Spring Boot 3.4.5 with springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui:2.3.0 to integrate Swagger UI in my Spring Boot REST application. I have shown the security configuration in the below:

@Bean
    SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

                                        .requestMatchers("/api-docs",

                                        .requestMatchers("/account/verify").permitAll()
                                        .requestMatchers(HttpMethod.GET, "/imgs/**").permitAll()
                                        .requestMatchers("/account/forget-password").permitAll()

                                        .anyRequest().authenticated())
                .authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider());
        http.addFilterBefore(authenticationFilter, UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
        return http.build();
    }

I got the following error in my console

Is this because @ControllerAdvice is only used here in the code?

[luckypenny1632333]

Hi @roberta484

The error you got typically means there is a binary incompatibility between Spring Framework version you are using and the version that springdoc-openapi was compiled against.

So I suggest to downgrade the Spring Boot to 3.18

Thanks

[santiago68310]

I also think this is because of version compatibility

[marksantiago290]

Seems like your issue is not caused by @ControllerAdvice or your custom exception handling.
I guess the actual root cause seems to be a version incompatibility between springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui:2.30 and Spring Boot 3.4.5

Tr to upgrade springdoc-openapi to a compatible version from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 or later. Its compatible with `Spring Boot 3.2+, so it will work with 3.4.5

For more detailed explanantion, please check the stackoverflow.

Okay, thanks
I've solved the problem.
