Can someone help me with this issue. I tried following a tutorial but when I had to build the program I got this issue: "java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke"org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.condition.PatternsRequestCondition.toString()" because the return value of "springfox.documentation.spi.service.contexts.Orderings.patternsCondition(springfox.documentation.RequestHandler)" is null."
