I have a springboot api. Call to one of the endpoint from swagger throws 500 error but nothing is getting logged. When I tried debugging, I can see that the responseEntity is populated just before returning from the controller. Hence I feel the code worked fine. Even then I see 500 in swagger. Lack of logs is making is difficult to debug. Did anyone face similar issue? How did you resolve it?
endpoint looks like this: I have added the log statements for reference
@RequestMapping(value = "/details/id/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = {"application/json;charset=UTF-8"})
public @ResponseBody
ResponseEntity<Details> getDetailsById(@PathVariable(name="id") @ApiParam(value ="id", example = "1234", required = true) String id) {
inputValidation.validateInputAndThrowErrorIfNecessary(id);
if(isBlank(id)) throw new IllegalArgumentException();
Details details = detailsService.getDetailsById(id);
if(details == null){
logger.debug("Not found response..................");
return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}
logger.debug("Just before posting the response for : {}", id);
ResponseEntity<Details> responseEntity = new ResponseEntity<>(details, HttpStatus.OK);
logger.debug("JSON--->\n"+responseEntity.toString()); // i see <200 OK OK,class Details { blah blah } at this point in logs
return responseEntity;
}
When I run the curl, response is as below :
curl -v GET "http://host:port/api/details/id/111" -H "accept: application/json;charset=UTF-8"
* Rebuilt URL to: GET/
* Could not resolve host: GET

curl -v http://localhost:8080/foo– AdlaiResponseEntity<Details>and the return type ofresponseEntityisResponseEntity<FullDetails>, however I would have thought that would fail compilation if that's an issue. Clearly there's something weird going on, I would have thought there would be logging from Spring Boot with an exception, however if there isn't you can use something like this to force logging: #33745375 – Adlai
