@dilipkrish Any time when you think you can review this?

[ghilainm]

@dilipkrish any news?

[ghilainm]

@soberich Can you debug it? Or share the piece of javadoc which generate the issue?

[soberich]

@ghilainm it is not that simple as this is an actual commercial project. Can't share. Do you have any ideas what could be the reason. NPE is quite severe the set up is

    springfoxDoclet("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc-root:b2a7344")
    springfoxDoclet("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc:b2a7344")
    compile("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc-root:b2a7344")
    compile("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc:b2a7344")

task

task generateSwaggerApiDocs(type: Javadoc) {
    manifest {
        attributes(
            "Automatic-Module-Name":  project.group,
            "Implementation-Version": project.version
        )
    }
    source = sourceSets.main.allJava
    destinationDir = reporting.file("rest-api-docs")
    options.doclet = "springfox.javadoc.doclet.SwaggerPropertiesDoclet"
    options.docletpath = configurations.springfoxDoclet.files.asType(List)
    options.classpath = configurations.runtimeClasspath.files.asType(List)
    verbose = true
}

rest setup

[soberich]

@ghilainm BTW, javadoc task runs fine.

[soberich]

@ghilainm Also, if I do not ecexute `generateSwaggerApiDocsz but leave it on classpath like

springfoxDoclet("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc-root:b2a7344")
    springfoxDoclet("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc:b2a7344")
    compile("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc-root:b2a7344")
    compile("com.github.ghilainm.springfox-javadoc:springfox-javadoc:b2a7344")

I got Spring-boot starts up, but with warnings like this for each model

2019-07-26 18:16:29.415  WARN 35566 --- [           main] s.d.s.p.CachingModelPropertiesProvider   : Exception calculating properties for model(com.example.domain.Device) -> ModelContext{groupName=default, type=com.example.domain.Device, isReturnType=trueview=Optional.empty}. null

and exception at the end

@ghilainm maybe as an idea for far going future in implementing such a support for SpringFox/Swagger as *Doc to OpenApi conversion it would worth to use Dokka https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka Right now Javadoc support would limit implementation language of users to only Java. Dokka understands both Kotlin and Java and supports all types of conversions HTML <-> Kdoc <-> Javadoc. BTW if you have an idea about how to use springfox/springfox-javadoc but not your fork with Gradle 5+. to maybe try if it'll work and if the problem is really in you fork's code, please let me know. Cheers.
