Ribbon with Spring Cloud and Eureka: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No instances available for Samarths-MacBook-Pro.local

I am working on Spring Boot Eureka Client Application with Ribbon Load Balancer.

I have two instances of the server registered with Eureka with the name "TEST". On the client side, I have the following code to fetch the server from Eureka.

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableEurekaClient
@RestController
public class EurekaConsumerApplication {

    @Autowired
    DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;

    @Autowired
    RestTemplate restTemplate;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/",method = RequestMethod.GET)
    String consumer(){
        InstanceInfo instance = discoveryClient.getNextServerFromEureka("TEST",        false);

        URI uri = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(instance.getHomePageUrl() + "baseDir")
            .build()
            .toUri();
        String baseDir = restTemplate.getForObject(uri, String.class);

        return baseDir;

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EurekaConsumerApplication.class, args);
    }
}

application.yml

spring:
  application:
    name: consumer
info:
  component: Consumer to fetch configuration
server:
  port: 8090
eureka:
  instance:
   leaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds: 3
  metadataMap:
    instanceId:   ${vcap.application.instance_id:${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${random.value}}}
client:
# Default values comes from   org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eurek.EurekaClientConfigBean
  region: default
  registryFetchIntervalSeconds: 5
  instanceInfoReplicationIntervalSeconds: 5
  initialInstanceInfoReplicationIntervalSeconds: 5
  serviceUrl:
    defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/
    availabilityZones:
    default: ${APPLICATION_DOMAIN:${DOMAIN:defaultZone}}

However, when I hit the restful endpoint by using the following command, it gives an error:

curl http://localhost:8090/

This is the error:

{"exception":"java.lang.IllegalStateException","message":"org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No instances available for Samarths-MacBook-Pro.local","path":"/"}

Looks like my server list is empty.

The RestTemplate you autowired is already connected to Ribbon. So you do a lookup by hand and then RestTemplate is trying to lookup the hostname passed in to ribbon. You have two options: 1) Don't use the netflix DiscoveryClient and pass the serviceId as a logical hostname to ribbon (http://TEST/myservice), 2) Don't use the autowired RestTemplate, create a new one for your class. My choice would be #1.
