server.servlet.context-path only works with embedded container. How are you deploying your application ? - Kedar Joshi
it work with me on spring-boot-starter-web - ashraf revo
but not working for spring-boot-starter-webflux - ashraf revo
This is logical as webflux uses netty instead of a servlet container so I doubt properties in namespace server.servlet.* applies to webflux. - Kedar Joshi

If you use the servlet API then the property is now called 

server.servlet.context-path=/myapp

As confirmed by Andy Wilkinson @andy-wilkinson of the Spring Boot team via Gitter

There’s no concept of context path in WebFlux so there’s no equivalent property

i.e WebFlux doesn't support context path configuration

In spring boot 2.3.x you can set spring.webflux.base-path property

spring.webflux.base-path=/path

For use cases where WebFlux application is behind load balancer/proxy you can use dedicated class - ForwardedHeaderTransformer that will extract path context from X-Forwarded-Prefix and will add it to ServerHttpRequest.

Doing so you won't need to modify global context-path (which does not make sense in WebFlux)

More about it here: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html#webflux-web-handler-api

In reference to Spring Boot 2.x. below configuration apply for application.yml

server:
  port: 8080
  servlet:
    context-path: /test

For application.properties configuration are

server.port=8080
server.servlet.context-path= /test
