Following example shows how to do integration testing with Spring @MvcMock and Junit 4.
Controller
package com.logicbig.example;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
@Controller
public class MyMvcController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String prepareView(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("msg", "Spring quick start!!");
return "my-page";
}
}
Config Class
package com.logicbig.example;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration
public class MyWebConfig {
@Bean
public MyMvcController myMvcController() {
return new MyMvcController();
}
}
Test Class
package com.logicbig.example;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import org.springframework.test.context.web.WebAppConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.ResultMatcher;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockHttpServletRequestBuilder;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.DefaultMockMvcBuilder;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@ContextConfiguration(classes = MyWebConfig.class)
public class MyMvcControllerTest {
@Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
@Before
public void setup() {
DefaultMockMvcBuilder builder = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac);
this.mockMvc = builder.build();
}
@Test
public void testMyMvcController() throws Exception {
ResultMatcher ok = MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk();
ResultMatcher msg = MockMvcResultMatchers.model()
.attribute("msg", "Spring quick start!!");
MockHttpServletRequestBuilder builder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/");
this.mockMvc.perform(builder)
.andExpect(ok)
.andExpect(msg);
}
}
Output$ mvn test -Dtest=MyMvcControllerTest
