Cannot refresh configs in @FeignClient with @RefreshScope

See original GitHub issue

I’m running a Spring Config Server and another Spring boot app that uses config server. I have a Feign-Client in my second app like this:

@FeignClient(url = "${myconfig.url}", name = "ConfigServerFeign",
        configuration = {FeignConfig.class}, fallback = ConfigServerFeignFallback.class)
public interface ConfigServerFeign
{
    @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.POST,
            headers = {"Content-Type=application/json; charset=UTF-8"}, consumes = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE})
    RequestModel test(@RequestBody RequestModel request);
}

and i have a config class for feign like this:

@Configuration
public class FeignConfig
{
    @Value("${myconfig.header}")
    private String authorization;
    @Bean
    public RequestInterceptor basicAuthRequestInterceptor()
    {
        return requestTemplate -> requestTemplate.header("Authorization", "Basic " + authorization);
    }
}

i need to change ${myconfig.url} or ${myconfig.header} in runtime. i think i have two option, first one is using @RefreshScope on top of ConfigServerConfig that does not work, the second option is to use @RefreshScope on FeignConfig class that gives me this error:
