What does the error mean in my stream map?

Error:

 Error

Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Code:

return ratings.stream()
                .map(rating -> {
                    Movie movie=restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8081/movies/"+rating.getMovieId(), Movie.class);
                    new CatalogItem(movie.getName(),movie.getDescription(),rating.getRating());
        })
        .collect(Collectors.toList());

Answer

The code block in your lambda expression doesn’t return anything, but the .map() method requires a function / lambda that returns something.

You should write your code as

return ratings.stream()
           .map(rating -> {
               Movie movie=restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8081/movies/"+rating.getMovieId(), Movie.class);
               return new CatalogItem(movie.getName(),movie.getDescription(),rating.getRating());
           })
           .collect(Collectors.toList());
