Annotation Interface RestClientTest


Annotation for a Spring rest client test that focuses only on beans that use RestTemplateBuilder.

Using this annotation will disable full auto-configuration and instead apply only configuration relevant to rest client tests (i.e. Jackson or GSON auto-configuration and @JsonComponent beans, but not regular @Component beans).

By default, tests annotated with RestClientTest will also auto-configure a MockRestServiceServer. For more fine-grained control the @AutoConfigureMockRestServiceServer annotation can be used.

If you are testing a bean that doesn't use RestTemplateBuilder but instead injects a RestTemplate directly, you can add @AutoConfigureWebClient(registerRestTemplate=true).

When using JUnit 4, this annotation should be used in combination with @RunWith(SpringRunner.class).
