Why does feign client timeout setting (as in documentation) not works? - spring-boot

Question

I try to configure feign client connect timeout, as defined on official documentation, but it does not work.
The app is just simple demo app.
MyFeign.java
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.cloud.openfeign.FeignClient;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
#FeignClient(name = "myFeign", url = "localhost:9047/payroll", configuration = FeignConfig.class)
public interface MyFeign {
#GetMapping(value = "/api/master/{employee_id}")
ResponseEntity<String> disableMasterPayroll(#PathVariable(name = "employee_id") String employeeId);
}
1st attempt : using configuration class
FeignConfig.java
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import feign.Request;
#Configuration
public class FeignConfig {
public Request.Options feignRequestOptionsCustom() {
return new Request.Options(5000, 5000);
}
}
2nd attempt, using application.yml as defined on spring doc (copy-paste it)
feign:
hystrix:
enabled: false
client:
config:
default:
connectTimeout: 5000
readTimeout: 5000
loggerLevel: basic
But none works.
Found several question on stackoverflow (this, this), but none resolve it.
I did not use hystrix. This is my gradle file
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-openfeign'
testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') {
exclude group: 'org.junit.vintage', module: 'junit-vintage-engine'
}
}
I'm using boot 2.2 with spring cloud Hoxton.RELEASE.
Any idea how to solve this?
