Could not resolve placeholder "server.contextPath" - spring-boot

Question

When testing a functional test of a resource with Spring, I'm calling a Rest Service, which code is the next:
SERVICE:
#Service
public class RestService {
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
#Value("${server.contextPath}")
private String contextPath;
private int port() {
return Integer.parseInt(environment.getProperty("local.server.port"));
}
public <T> RestBuilder<T> restBuilder(RestBuilder<T> restBuilder) {
restBuilder.port(this.port());
restBuilder.path(contextPath);
return restBuilder;
}
public RestBuilder<Object> restBuilder() {
RestBuilder<Object> restBuilder = new RestBuilder<>(this.port());
restBuilder.path(contextPath);
return restBuilder;
}
}
Then, I get the error:
Could not resolve placeholder 'server.contextPath' in value "${server.contextPath}".
Which thing (if it's a dependency issue) should I check, or where could be the error?
Here's the trace:

I will answer just for future readers with my case:
When occurred:
after upgrading springboot from 1.x to 2.5.6 with using recipes with mvn Rewrite plugin
What changed:
In application.properties the property server.context-path changed to server.servlet.context-path
Fix:
in IntelliJ IDEA use ctrl + shift + R and replaceAll server.context-path with server.servlet.context-path
