Unable to wire RestTemplate using Spring Cloud Consul and @EnableDiscoveryClient

Question

I'm trying evaluate the use of Consul for service discovery, but with a simple project, the RestTemplate isn't auto wired. Using Spring Cloud Consul 1.0.0.M6 and Spring Boot 1.3.3.

Looking in the Consul UI, I can see my "multimedia" service registered, and if I comment out the use of RestTemplate in the code below, I can see the service instance info.

Is auto wiring of RestTemplate supported currently for Consul discovery with 1.0.0.M6? And if so, is working example to share?

I also have a very similar project that works fine using Eureka, I just changed the @EnableEurekaClient annotation to @EnableDiscoveryClient and set the consul host and port in the bootstrap.properties file. In reading the Spring Cloud Consul docs the functionality should be almost identical -- RestTemplate auto wired and ready to go for the service in the http://>/some/path URL.

Here's the code:

package com.trta.cps;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.DiscoveryClient;
import org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.EnableDiscoveryClient;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableDiscoveryClient
public class CpsMultimediaServiceClientApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired
    DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;

    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(CpsMultimediaServiceClientApplication.class).web(false)
                                                                                 .run(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        discoveryClient.getServices()
                       .forEach(System.out::println);
        discoveryClient.getInstances("multimedia")
                       .forEach(System.out::println);

        String result = this.restTemplate.getForObject("http://multimedia/v1/multimedia/{guid}/info", String.class, "A3E766B4000000E8199D0CA7000002F2");
        System.out.println("Response: " + result);
    }
}

Here's my build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.3.3.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

jar {
    baseName = 'cps-multimedia-service-client'
    version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone' }

}


dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-all:1.0.0.M6'

    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Brixton.BUILD-SNAPSHOT"
    }
}

eclipse {
    classpath {
        containers.remove('org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER')
        containers 'org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.8'
    }
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '2.9'
}

We made a change on the way RestTemplate is configured. It is no longer created for you. See updated docs. You need to create a RestTemplate bean yourself.

@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {

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

public class MyClass {
    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;

    public String doOtherStuff() {
        String results = restTemplate.getForObject("http://stores/stores", String.class);
        return results;
    }
}
