java.lang.IllegalStateException: No instances available for student-service at org.springframework.cloud.netflix.ribbon.RibbonLoadBalancerClient

Question

I am running the Spring Cloud Consule example from link::https://howtodoinjava.com/spring/spring-cloud/consul-service-registration-discovery/. When I am running the http://localhost:8098/getSchoolDetails/abcschool I am getting the below error, it seems that client is unable to recognized the student-service.

When I checked the instance both services are registered in Consul at : http://localhost:8500/ui

StudentServiceDelegate

@Service
public class StudentServiceDelegate {
    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;

    public String callStudentServiceAndGetData(String schoolname) {
        System.out.println("Consul Demo - Getting School details for " + schoolname);
        String URL = "http://student-service/getStudentDetailsForSchool/{schoolname}";

        String response = restTemplate.exchange(URL, HttpMethod.GET, null, new ParameterizedTypeReference<String>() {}, schoolname).getBody();


        System.out.println("Response Received as " + response + " -  " + new Date());

        return "School Name -  " + schoolname + " :::  Student Details " + response + " -  " + new Date();
    }

    @Bean
    @LoadBalanced
    public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplate();
    }
}

In the above controller when calling rest call, its failing there.

SchoolServiceController

@RestController
public class SchoolServiceController {

    @Autowired
    StudentServiceDelegate studentServiceDelegate;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/getSchoolDetails/{schoolname}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getStudents(@PathVariable String schoolname) {
        System.out.println("Going to call student service to get data!");

        return studentServiceDelegate.callStudentServiceAndGetData(schoolname);
    }
}

application.properties

server.port=8098
spring.application.name=school-service
management.security.enabled=false

Added SH-1

Added SH-2

Get http://XXXX.com:8098/health: dial tcp 10.142.167.39:8098: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

When I hit http://localhost:9098/health, I get the below error.

See that your services registration is failing for health check I guess. Mind the "1 failing". – Hakon

when u hit localhost:<your_port>/health endpoint on browser.. do u see proper response? – Hakon

Updated post, "error": "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Value must not be null", but why ? I uploaded my code at github.com/test512/spring-cloud-howtodoinjava/tree/master/… – Actinism

I just followed the tutorial you mentioned and everything is working fine for me.. When you start your application you must see this line "main] o.s.c.c.s.ConsulServiceRegistry : Registering service with consul: NewService{id='student-service-9098', name='student-service', tags=[],............." In this line you also get health endpoint which you can hit to see the response. – Hakon

agree. Its working fine for you, but for me its still not working. I clean the project loaded and compiled again..not sure whats going on.. Registering service with consul: NewService{id='student-service-9098', name='student-service', tags=[], address='test.us.test1.com', port=9098, enableTagOverride=null, check=Check{script='null', interval=10s, ttl=null, http=test.us.test1.com:9098/health, tcp=null, timeout=null, deregisterCriticalServiceAfter=null, tlsSkipVerify=null}, checks=null} – Actinism

Answer 1

I was able to fixed this issue as per this link : https://github.com/indrabasak/spring-consul-example/blob/master/client/README.md, we should strictly used below properties to avoid below error.

management.security.enabled=false
management.health.consul.enabled=false

http://localhost:8098//getSchoolDetails/abcschool

The output I get is::

School Name - abcschool ::: Student Details [{"name":"Sajal","className":"Class IV"},{"name":"Lokesh","className":"Class V"}] - Thu Apr 12 15:47:53 IST 2018

Actinism

Glad to know that you fixed your issue by urself. I ran your code and it worked for me. So the only difference I can think of is that You must be using the latest version of Consul and I am using 0.7.2 version. – Hakon

I am using consul version 1.0.6. Lot more questions I will raised soon :) – Actinism
