@GrpcClient is null spring boot 3

I am making grpc client using net.devh.grpc-client-spring-boot-starter

Client:

@Service
public class SystemService {
    @GrpcClient("handyman-client")
    StatusServiceGrpc.StatusServiceBlockingStub handymanClient;

    public VersionResponse getHandymanVersion() {
        return handymanClient.getVersion(Empty.newBuilder().build());
    }
}

application.yaml:

grpc:
  client:
    handyman-client:
      address: static://localhost:8080
      negotiationType: plaintext

In runtime handymanClient is null. Tried spring boot versions from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2. Lowering the spring boot version to 2.7.0 solves the problem - the client is being created now.

Is there a workaround to make it work on spring boot 3?

plugins {

Based on this issue you must use the following configuration in your project :

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.ImportAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
@ImportAutoConfiguration({
        net.devh.boot.grpc.client.autoconfigure.GrpcClientAutoConfiguration.class,
