Description:

Parameter 0 of method traceFilterRegistration in org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EurekaServerConfiguration required a bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' that could not be found.
    - Bean method 'resourceUrlEncodingFilter' in 'FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration.FreeMarkerWebConfiguration' not loaded because @ConditionalOnEnabledResourceChain did not find class org.webjars.WebJarAssetLocator


Action:

Consider revisiting the conditions above or defining a bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' in your configuration.

    registerWithEureka: false
    fetch-registry: false

Boot Application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableEurekaServer
public class EurekaServerApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EurekaServerApplication.class, args);
    }
}

---

NOTE: if I set the spring-boot-starter-parent to the 1.4.1.RELEASE everything works.

---

This is my environment:

• MacOS Sierra 10.12.1
• Spring Tool Suite - Version: 3.8.2.RELEASE (Build Id: 201610040743 - Platform: Eclipse Neon.1 (4.6.1))

Answer 1

You can solve many issues like this coming with (Spring Boot + Spring Cloud) by matching versions of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Please refer this link for version matrix. https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud

Answer 2

I change the <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version> to <spring-cloud.version>Hoxton.SR8</spring-cloud.version> and works fine.

Answer 3

There should be a mismatch version between spring boot and spring cloud. If you use spring boot version 2.2.0.RELEASE you have to use spring cloud version Hoxton.RC1. If you use spring boot version 2.1.9.RELEASE, you have to use spring cloud version Greenwich.SR3.

Below is the sample:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.9.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

<properties>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.SR3</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>

Answer 4

I was able to solve this problem by aligning my versions of spring-boot and spring-cloud, specifically spring-boot-starter-parent and spring-cloud-dependencies.

To see the latest compatible versions of these I used SpringInitializr to create a eureka server project and then looked at the generated pom.xml.

To create a eureka project from the link above:

• Select the spring boot version (I use the latest)
• Type 'eureka' into the Dependencies and select eureka-server

Click the 'Explore' button to view the generated pom.xml.

Answer 5

you can create this bean :

@Bean
public Filter webRequestLoggingFilter() {
    return new CommonsRequestLoggingFilter();
}

Answer 6

Opened an issue on GitHub: #1491.

Solved by cleaning the maven repo: rm -r $HOME/.m2
