[FIXED] RefreshEndpoint Bean not available with Spring Boot 2.4.2 and Spring Cloud 2020.0.1

Issue

I have an application that we are migrating to the latest Spring Boot(2.4.2) and Spring Cloud(2020.0.1) versions. The application uses a Cloud Config Server to fetch the configurations and Refresh is done by a scheduled job which makes a call href="https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/blob/master/spring-cloud-context/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/endpoint/RefreshEndpoint.java#L40" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RefreshEndpoint.refresh().

This used to work perfectly fine, but with the version above, I cannot make it work.

Description:

'org.springframework.cloud.endpoint.RefreshEndpoint' that could not be found.


Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.cloud.endpoint.RefreshEndpoint' in your configuration.

Here is the project with below configuration.

import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.cloud.endpoint.RefreshEndpoint;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class ConfigRefreshJob {

    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ConfigRefreshJob.class);

    private static final int TEN_MINUTE = 10 * 60 * 1000;

    private final RefreshEndpoint refreshEndpoint;

    @Autowired
    public ConfigRefreshJob(final RefreshEndpoint refreshEndpoint) {
        this.refreshEndpoint = refreshEndpoint;
    }

    @Scheduled(fixedDelay = TEN_MINUTE)
    public void refreshConfigs() {
        LOG.info("Refreshing Configurations - {}", refreshEndpoint.refresh());
    }
}

Can somebody suggest how to fix this?

Solution

Change your application.yml as follow :

management:
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include:
          - refresh
          - health

Refresh Scope
