WebClient retrieving NULL as response body

Question

I am invoking to a service with the following code:

WebClient.create().get()
                .uri("http://www.somehost.es/api/products/1319/?ws_key=DC63ZTBVVQLN9MHQPQ9UMTL2DSW55C63")
                .retrieve()
                .bodyToMono(String.class)
                .doOnSuccess(System.out::println)
                .block();

And NULL is printed. But when I copy that URL and paste it directly int Chrome, or into Postman, the body (which is XML) is correctly returned.

Why would WebClient return null instead?

Same problem, any takers on this? Spring Boot 2.3.4.RELEASE – Enthetic

Answer 1

I found a reason and that the URI is encoded by default:

Answer 2

in my case one Test was interfering with the others. I separate the classes and the Tests and it was ok.
