In the process of using zuul, start the application and call the interface and report an error:

Can’t find getErrorPath() method in ErrorController

Since the author is using the latest spring-boot 2.5.5 version, the getErrorPath() API was removed from ErrorController, but spring-cloud-starter-netflix-zuul 2.2.7.RELEASE still calls this API and causes this error.

Solution

Method 1: Use a lower version of spring boot to be compatible with spring-cloud-starter-netflix-zuul

Use spring boot 2.4.8 to be compatible with spring-cloud-starter-netflix-zuul

Added:
spring-cloud and netflix-zuul will work fine in the following versions:

spring-boot-starter-parent: 2.1.3.RELEASE java.version
: 1.8
spring-cloud.version: Greenwich.RELEASE
spring-cloud-starter-netflix-zuul: 2.1.0.RELEASE
spring-cloud-starter-netflix- eureka-client: 2.1.0.RELEASE
jackson-dataformat-xml: 2.9.9
spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server: 2.1.0.RELEASE

Method 2: Create a BeanPostProcessor to intercept the call of the lookupHandler method

        // NoSuchMethodError 
        return null;
      }
      return methodProxy.invokeSuper(target, args);
    }

  private static final class ZuulPostProcessor implements BeanPostProcessor {

    private final RouteLocator routeLocator;

    ZuulPostProcessor(RouteLocator routeLocator, ZuulController zuulController, ErrorController errorController) {
      this.routeLocator = routeLocator;
      this.zuulController = zuulController;
      this.hasErrorController = (errorController != null);
    }

        Enhancer enhancer = new Enhancer();

        return enhancer.create(ctor.getParameterTypes(), new Object[] {routeLocator, zuulController});
      }
      return bean;
    }
  }
}

Test code:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/set")
public class TestController {

    @RequestMapping("/test")
    public String test(){
        return "hello world!";
    }
}

The operation is successful, no error is reported:
