Use of @EnableWebMvc in app breaks swagger-ui.html redirect

(Identical to closed issue #150, but now with steps on how it can be reproduced:)

The use of @EnableWebMvc in some of my apps breaks the redirect from /swagger-ui.html to /swagger-ui/index.html?url=/v3/api-docs. Visiting the destination URL directly works.

Issue might be caused by having @EnableWebMvc on SwaggerConfig as well. Most likely it can only appear once in a Spring app. Ideally, Springdoc works regardless whether that annotation is already present in app (or any library it might use).

To reproduce:

• checkout springdoc-openapi-demos project @ https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc-openapi-demos
• add @EnableWebMvc on class org.springdoc.demo.app1.Application
• run org.springdoc.demo.app1.Application
• visit http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html and notice that it doesn’t work

The stacktrace looks like this:

I faced similar problem, what solved the issue for me is adding this to the Web Config:

    @Bean
    public InternalResourceViewResolver defaultViewResolver() {
        return new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    }

[sbjw]

WebMvcConfigurationSupport.java

if (names.length == 1) { registry.getViewResolvers().add(new InternalResourceViewResolver()); }

In WebMvcConfigurationSupport.java , has the code name.length == 1. but when debug ,name.length != 1. so is do not pass the if quote.

so the answer is to override the method configureViewResolvers, and regist it in you SpringMvcConfig bean like this:

@Override
protected void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
    registry.viewResolver(new InternalResourceViewResolver());
    super.configureViewResolvers(registry);
}
