I am using https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat, trying to change the default path from /WebGoat to just /. I changed in the application properties file server.servlet.context-path=/ and rebuild the application.
However after that, I noticed the execution stops at StartWebGoat.java stage https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat/blob/main/src/main/java/org/owasp/webgoat/server/StartWebGoat.java when it runs SpringApplicationBuilder .
64ca, org.springframework.security.web.access.intercept.FilterSecurityInterceptor@2e3b7b0b]
2023-04-13 17:02:30.790 INFO 69552 --- [ main] io.undertow : starting server: Undertow - 2.2.18.Final

it didn't proceed with the next step running the StartUpMessage.Java https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat/blob/main/src/main/java/org/owasp/webgoat/server/StartupMessage.java
I couldn't find any clue that points to why the event isn't triggered after changing the context-path in the application.properties file https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat/blob/main/src/main/resources/application-webgoat.properties. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Somehow I get to make it work, so from the https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat downloaded,
change the default path in the src/main/resources/application-webgoat.properties file, for the line server.servlet.context-path=/ (from /WebGoat)
