Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.cloud.netflix.feign.FeignContext' available
When you encounter a NoSuchBeanException related to FeignContext while using `@EnableFeignClients` and `@FeignClient`, it typically indicates that Spring couldn't find a bean of type `FeignContext` to inject where it's needed. This can happen due to various reasons. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Check Dependency: Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies in your project to use Feign. Feign is typically included as part of Spring Cloud dependencies if you're using it within a Spring Cloud application. Make sure your `pom.xml` or `build.gradle` file includes the necessary dependencies.
2. Enable Feign Clients Correctly: Make sure you've correctly annotated your main application class with `@EnableFeignClients`. This annotation should be placed on a configuration class that's scanned by Spring during component scanning.
@SpringBootApplication@EnableFeignClientspublic class YourApplication {public static void main(String[] args) {SpringApplication.run(YourApplication.class, args);}}

3. Feign Client Interface: Verify that your Feign client interface is correctly defined. It should be an interface annotated with `@FeignClient` and should specify the name of the target service.
@FeignClient(name = "your-service-name")public interface YourFeignClient {// Define your methods here}
4. Component Scanning: Ensure that the packages containing your Feign clients and the main application class are being scanned by Spring. If your Feign client interface is not being scanned, Spring won't create the necessary beans.
5. Check Feign Context Configuration: If you're customizing Feign's behavior or using custom configurations, ensure they are correctly configured. If you have a custom `FeignContext` bean defined, make sure it is properly initialized and available for injection.
6. Conditional Loading: If you're using conditional loading or profiles, make sure that the necessary beans are being created based on the active profiles.
7. Dependency Issues: Check if there are any conflicts or version mismatches between Spring Cloud and Feign dependencies. Sometimes, different versions of Spring Cloud and Feign might not be compatible with each other.

8. Restart and Clean Build: Sometimes, issues might arise due to stale configurations or dependencies. Try restarting your application and performing a clean build.
By systematically checking each of these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the `NoSuchBeanException` related to FeignContext.
