OpenFeign incompatibility with Spring v2.7.0

[Kaushik27]

Hi Team, I have started using OpenFeign with Spring boot as a part of one of my project's requirements. Previously I was working on Spring boot version of springBootVersion = '2.2.6.RELEASE' with springCloudFeignVersion = '2.2.4.RELEASE' But the moment, I updated my Spring boot version to 2.7.0, I started getting a lot of errors. I need to use the latest Spring boot version for some compliant regulatory purposes. Can you please take a look at it?

I am pasting the errors as well for reference:

Do you still have such problem? I have similar errors when I forget to mock/autowire components in tests. You should post the relevant code.

[kdavisk6]

These errors are not Feign related but rather Spring related. While OpenFeign is included in Spring Cloud OpenFeign, we are not able to help you here.

Questions like this are more appropriate for Stack Overflow. Issues in this repository are for bug fixes and feature requests for the project.
