I've got a simple Rest Controller that returns ResponseEntity<Void>. I'm trying to call it though Feign client and getting NPE while decoding the result. Spring cloud version: Angel.SR3, Feign version: 8.9.0
Changing the return value to ResponseEntity<String> and passing some dummy value solves the problem, but is it supposed to work with Void return type?
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

RestController:
@RestController
public class TestResource {
@RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET, consumes="application/json", produces="application/json")
ResponseEntity<Void> testPost() {
return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
Feign Client to access the rest resource:
@FeignClient("order-service")
public interface TestClient {
@RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET, consumes="application/json", produces="application/json")
ResponseEntity<Void> testGet();
}
Call of the feign client:
@Service
public class Test {
@Autowired
private TestClient testClient;
void test() {
testClient.testGet(); // this line triggers NPE
}
}
