Cannot send Authorization Bearer Token using Springfox

Question

I\'m having trouble understanding why \"Authorization: Bearer __\" is not being sent in my api using Springfox 2.5.0. I have the following configuration:

private

A simple workaround is to type Bearer than paste the token after it. You will end up with a text box that contains:

Bearer 

I wish there was a more automated way. But for now, it appears as though what goes in the text box simple get's pasted into the value section of a given header entry. I suppose the reason the prefix Bearer does not get injected automatically is because then Swagger would be quite opinionated about which sort of authentication its users used!

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
class SwaggerConfig {

    @Bean
    Docket api() {

        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                .select()
                .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())
                .paths(Predicates.not(PathSelectors.regex("/error.*")))
                .build()
                .securitySchemes(securitySchemes())
    }

    private static ArrayList securitySchemes() {

        return [new ApiKey("Bearer", "Authorization", "header")]
    }
}

The REST endpoint method:

@GetMapping("/count")
@ApiOperation(value = "Count the number of entities associated with resource name. This operation does not requires any role." , authorizations = [@Authorization(value = "Bearer")])
def count() {

    count(service)
}

The curl command before logging in:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/category/count" -H "accept: */*"

Response:

{
  "timestamp": "2018-10-29T15:13:02.388+0000",
  "status": 401,
  "error": "Unauthorized",
  "message": "Unauthorized",
  "path": "/category/count"
}

The curl command after logging in:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/category/count" -H "accept: */*" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9..."

Response:

{
  "message": "There are 0 entities",
  "count": 0
}

Note: My code is in Groovy, I am sure you can translate if you are using standard Java.
