使用Actuator启动失败，Failed to start bean ‘documentationPluginsBootstrapper‘

问题描述

springboot版本2.7.3

<parent>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <version>2.7.3</version>
</parent>

在项目未导入Actuator之前是正常运行的

导入Actuator jar包

<!-- 实现对 Actuator 的自动化配置 -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>

启动报错

根据documentationPluginsBootstrapper这个bean，找到是springfox.documentation.spring.web.plugins下的DocumentationPluginsBootstrapper

这个类属于springfox包

检查了依赖中使用了knif4j
