Broken documentation links

[breun]

On https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-netflix#learn there are some broken links:

• 4.1.3 links to https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/docs/current/reference/html/, which shows the documentation for version 4.0.4.
• 4.1.4-SNAPSHOT links to https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/docs/4.1.4-SNAPSHOT/reference/html/, which returns 404 Not Found.
• 4.0.6-SNAPSHOT links to https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/docs/4.0.6-SNAPSHOT/reference/html/, which returns 404 Not Found.
• 4.0.5 links to https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/docs/4.0.5/reference/html/, which returns 404 Not Found.

The link format for 4.1.x seems to be https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/reference/${version}, because these work:

• 4.1.3: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/reference/4.1.3
• 4.1.4-SNAPSHOT: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/reference/4.1.4-SNAPSHOT

I don't know what the correct links are for the 4.0.x versions.

I've checked the documention. Not only links are broken, but the documentation is using outdated content:

There are not annotations anymore @EnableEurekaClient to enable service. See issue #4029

This URL is using wrong version: https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-netflix#overview This URL has an updated version without annotations: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/reference/html/#netflix-eureka-client-starter

This is the current content version in this project: https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/main/docs/src/main/asciidoc/sagan-index.adoc

Thanks @breun, @fa11enangel. We've been changing the way our docs are generated and the site content is created and possibly things got mixed up. Will straighten it up.

@fa11enangel What do you mean by: "This URL is using wrong version: https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-netflix#overview"?

Also @EnableEurekaClient is not in the new docs. The problem (which we're fixing now) is that the links got to an older doc version. The docs for older versions will still contain it.

[OlgaMaciaszek]

Fixed.

@OlgaMaciaszek if you check this URL https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-netflix#overview you see, that the example uses annotation @EnableEurekaClient to inject eureka client functionality in the Application class.

But this annonation @EnableEurekaClient was removed and doesn't exist anymore. You did the change in https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/issues/4029 .

Should I open a new bug for this? It is not a link issue but outdated information maybe. I can't see how the content on spring.io is built.

Thanks @fa11enangel, i see. Will fix it now.

There is another mention in the description above example:

As long as Spring Cloud Netflix and Eureka Core are on the classpath any Spring Boot application with @EnableEurekaClient will try to contact a Eureka server
