REST APIs are not visible in Control Center 0.5.1 -> API section when using jHipster v. 7.5.0 and above

[tomaszwasik]

I am quite new in jHipster world, so i am not sure if it is really a bug or I am doing something wrong. Anyway, i cross-checked it with other developers and they noticed same issue.

Overview of the issue

Micro-services and API gateway APIs are not visible in Control Center -> API section. Applications are visible in Control Center -> Instances section, Metrics sections and so on, but not in API tab.

Project set up:

• jHipster Registry 7.3.0
• jHipster Control Center 0.5.1
• API Gateway generated based on jHipster v. 7.8.1
• sample micro-service generated based on jHipster v. 7.8.1
• local env - Ubuntu 19.10 64

Reproduce the error

1. use jhipster v. 7.5.0 and above
2. download and run jhipster registry 0.5.1
3. download and run jhipster control center 0.5.1
4. create sample micro-service project
5. provide same config in all applications (like jwt token)
6. start up sample micro-service
7. navigate to control center -> API

Affected versions

jHipster v. 7.4.1 is the last, stable version. Micro-services generated with jHipster v. 7.4.1 are visible in Control Center -> API tab. So, looks like that bug was introduced in jHipster v. 7.5.0. Based on release notes i would say that bug is related to migration from springfox to springdoc.
