Minimal Spring Boot Install and v2.8.13 is not working

[harryjackson]

Describe the bug

I created a minimal Spring Boot App using

https://start.spring.io/

Note, in the repo to follow Spring Boot does run and come up with a dummy controller added.

I added the following two dependencies.

implementation("org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui:2.8.13")
implementation("org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-api:2.8.13")

To Reproduce

Checkout this repo.

https://github.com/harryjackson/spring-boot-admin-springdoc-openapi

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run

./gradlew bootRun

wget http://localhost:8080/v3/api-docs

and you will get a 404

• What version of spring-boot you are using?

3.5.7
Java 25

• What modules and versions of springdoc-openapi are you using?

See the gradle.build.kts file in the repo

Expected behavior

Based on the docs I was reading here

https://springdoc.org/#getting-started

I was expecting results at the following URL

http://localhost:8080/v3/api-docs

Note. If springdoc detects that there's nothing to do I would have expected a warning in the logs but I don't see anything obvious.

When I launch your project the Swagger-UI and the specification are accessible at the expected addresses (http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html#/ and http://localhost:8080/v3/api-docs).
