Yes, there is a way, and it’s simple too! I ran into the same problem myself. Though I was discouraged by Sam Brannen’s answer, it appears that Spring MVC nowadays DOES support PUT file uploading as I could simply do such a request using Postman (I’m using Spring Boot 1.4.2). So, I kept digging and … Read more
There’s a cleaner way: andExpect(jsonPath(“$”).doesNotExist()) Note that you can’t use isEmpty because it checks for an empty value, and assumes the existence of the attribute. When the attribute doesn’t exist, isEmpty throws an exception. Whereas, doesNotExist verifies that the attribute doesn’t exist, and when used with $, it checks for an empty JSON document.
I use TestNG for my unit testing. But in Spring Test Framework they both looks similar. So I believe your test be like below @Test public void testAlertFilterView() throws Exception { this.mockMvc.perform(get(“/getServerAlertFilters/v2v2v2/”). .andExpect(status().isOk()) .andExpect(content().json(“{‘data’:[{‘useRegEx’:’false’,’hosts’:’v2v2v2′}]}”)); } If you want check check json Key and value you can use jsonpath .andExpect(jsonPath(“$.yourKeyValue”, is(“WhatYouExpect”))); You might find thatcontent().json() are … Read more
Spring MVC offers a standaloneSetup that supports testing relatively simple controllers, without the need of context. Build a MockMvc by registering one or more @Controller’s instances and configuring Spring MVC infrastructure programmatically. This allows full control over the instantiation and initialization of controllers, and their dependencies, similar to plain unit tests while also making it … Read more
To test size of array: jsonPath(“$”, hasSize(4)) To count members of object: jsonPath(“$.*”, hasSize(4)) I.e. to test that API returns an array of 4 items: accepted value: [1,2,3,4] mockMvc.perform(get(API_URL)) .andExpect(jsonPath(“$”, hasSize(4))); to test that API returns an object containing 2 members: accepted value: {“foo”: “oof”, “bar”: “rab”} mockMvc.perform(get(API_URL)) .andExpect(jsonPath(“$.*”, hasSize(2))); I’m using Hamcrest version 1.3 … Read more
You can call andReturn() and use the returned MvcResult object to get the content as a String. See below: MvcResult result = mockMvc.perform(post(“/api/users”).header(“Authorization”, base64ForTestUser).contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) .content(“{\”userName\”:\”testUserDetails\”,\”firstName\”:\”xxx\”,\”lastName\”:\”xxx\”,\”password\”:\”xxx\”}”)) .andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print()) .andExpect(status().isBadRequest()) .andReturn(); String content = result.getResponse().getContentAsString(); // do what you will
