I am using Resilience4j Circuit breaker version: '1.4.0 with Spring boot version 2.0.6 and my problem is - fallback method is not working. the call is not going to the fallback method. Below is my code :

@Override
@CircuitBreaker(name="mainService",fallbackMethod = "callFallback")
public JSONObject callService(JSONObject rawRequest) throws TimeoutException {
      ...
       throw new TimeoutException("Time occured while calling 
       service");
      ...
}

-- and fallback method :

private JSONObject callFallback(JSONObject rawRequest,Throwable t){

    System.out.println("Inside fallback method callNsFallback, 
        cause"+t.toString());

        logger.info("Inside fallback method callFallback, 
        cause - {}",t.toString());

    return rawRequest;
}

--Configurations in application.yml

The possible reasons could be you are missing some required dependencies. Here I am sharing the dependencies and the yaml configuration which were working for me.

I have been missing below dependency. It worked after adding and fallback method was called!

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
