Break circular references which disabled by default since spring boot 2.6

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle:

┌─────┐
|  requestMappingHandlerMapping defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]
↑     ↓
|  openApiResource defined in class path resource [org/springdoc/webmvc/core/SpringDocWebMvcConfiguration.class]
└─────┘


Action:

Relying upon circular references is discouraged and they are prohibited by default. Update your application to remove the dependency cycle between beans. As a last resort, it may be possible to break the cycle automatically by setting spring.main.allow-circular-references to true.

I have this error too. I put in application.properties : spring.main.allow-circular-references=true but it didn’t work

spring.main.allow-circular-references: true works for me.
