Spring Boot Implementing Swagger not working

Question

Hey i just want to implement swagger, however when i add the dependency in maven:

        <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-boot-starter</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0</version>
        </dependency>

And run the application it shows me this error:

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Failed to start bean 'documentationPluginsBootstrapper'; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.condition.PatternsRequestCondition.getPatterns()" because "this.condition" is null

Any suggestions how can i fix this bug?

This is to less information to spot the problem. You should add at least the relevant parts of you pom (so that one know dependency version) and the Spring configuration. — Ralph, Feb 26 '22 at 09:48
If you are using Spring Security, use the security configuration mentioned on **[Cannot open Swagger UI in tis Version 3 in my Spring Boot Example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73073519/cannot-open-swagger-ui-in-tis-version-3-in-my-spring-boot-example)** page. — Murat Yıldız, Jan 31 '23 at 10:18

I fixed the issue by changing project version: from 2.6.3 to 2.4.2
