Describe the bug Spring Boot 3.2.1 Spring Cloud 4.1.0

The Spring Cloud OpenFeign documentation says:

If we want to create multiple feign clients with the same name or url so that they would point to the same server but each with a different custom configuration then we have to use contextId attribute of the @FeignClient in order to avoid name collision of these configuration beans.

I expect it to work when the url comes from configuration properties, but Spring Boot throws an exception while starting the application:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'com.example.MultipleFeignClientsWithSameNameTests': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'foo': Error creating bean with name 'com.example.MultipleFeignClientsWithSameNameTests$FooClient': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation

  private FooClient foo;

  @Autowired

  @Test

Same problem!

Comment From: OlgaMaciaszek

Hello, @pukkaone. This is working as expected. If you create multiple beans with the same name, you need to set different context ids to differentiate between configuration contexts. That also means, that you need to specify properties per context, in your example spring.cloud.openfeign.client.config.fooClient.url=https://stores.example.com and/ or spring.cloud.openfeign.client.config.barClient.url=https://stores.example.com.

Comment From: pukkaone

I want to create multiple feign clients with the same url so that they would point to the same server. Instead of setting multiple configuration properties:

spring.cloud.openfeign.client.config.fooClient.url=https://stores.example.com
spring.cloud.openfeign.client.config.barClient.url=https://stores.example.com

I want to set a single configuration property:

spring.cloud.openfeign.client.config.stores.url=https://stores.example.com

where both @FeignClient annotations set the attribute name = "stores".

For my application, I patched FeignClientFactoryBean to read configuration properties by name instead of contextId to accomplish this.

Hello @pukkaone, that is not a functionality we currently support. Since the project is now in maintenance mode (we suggest migrating over to using Spring interface clients), we are not planning on adding new features.
