使用swagger遇到的问题-启动服务出现空指针异常(Unable to scan documentation context default)

使用swagger遇到的问题-启动服务出现空指针异常(Unable to scan documentation context default)

1、问题描述

1. 在springboot项目中新增了新的需求后，创建entity、Service、Impl、controller类的文件后，重启服务过程中报错(虽然服务能正常启动，但是报错不美观)
2. 报错日志如下:

2、研究并解决问题

1. 针对此问题，研究发现，引起这个错误的是某个entity类，进一步检查发现这个实体类中成员变量使用的属性权限是public；自己在定义变量时，不小心把成员变量的属性都弄成了public，swagger在获取参数时，不能正确识别成员变量的权限。
2. 检查最近新建的所有entity中成员变量的权限属性，将public改成private，重新启动，不再报空指针异常错误。
