'url' should start with a path or be a complete HTTP URL: - spring

Question

I did write an application that pulls customer info.
When I run the application in postman it works fine.
But when trying to run some initial tests but it gives bean error ,
The exact same configuration with the same annotations works fine in another component .
Thanks in advance
'url' should start with a path or be a complete HTTP URL: v1/customers/2503427

I was fixing the same error now... Error arise because endpoint must start with /.
Change your's variable endpoint from v1/customers/ to /v1/customers/.
