Exception message not included in response when throwing ResponseStatusException in Spring Boot

Question

My Spring Boot application provides the following REST controller:

@RestController
@RequestMapping(\"/api/verify\")
public class VerificationController {

           


        

Answer 1

This behavior has changed with Spring Boot 2.3 and is intentional. See release notes for details.

Setting server.error.include-message=always in the application.properties resolves this issue.
