Spring Cloud Gateway doesn't work with @Bean DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator

Question

I follow Spring Tips: Spring Cloud Gateway. But my gateway app doesn't create routes from the service register(Eureka). DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator constructor with 2 params. The gateway app it's not routing from Eureka server. I've been trying changing the versions in the pom.xml but I'm using the RELEASE.

The Application.java

@SpringBootApplication
public class GatewayApplication {

    @Bean
    DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator discoveryRoutes(DiscoveryClient dc, DiscoveryLocatorProperties dlp) {
        return new DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator(dc, dlp);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(GatewayApplication.class, args);
    }
}

The constructor of the DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator is using now 2 params instead just 1 like in the Spring Tips: Spring Clou Gateway.

The application.property:

spring.application.name=gateway
server.port=8081
eureka.client.register-with-eureka=true

My pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Answer 1

To let it works. You don't need to add the bean below, remove it

@Bean
DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator discoveryRoutes(DiscoveryClient dc, DiscoveryLocatorProperties dlp) {
    return new DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator(dc, dlp);
}

In your application.properties, add these two lines to enable discovery client

spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.enabled=true
spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.lower-case-service-id=true

And it should work!

Answer 2

The constructor DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator(DiscoveryClient, DiscoveryLocatorProperties) is deprecated

I suggest you to use :

ReactiveDiscoveryClient instead of DiscroveryClient

@Bean
DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator discoveryRoutes(ReactiveDiscoveryClient rdc,
        DiscoveryLocatorProperties dlp) {
    return new DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator(rdc, dlp);
}

Other thing, you should rename your application.proporty to application.properities
