Setup Features
No matter which MockMvc builder you use, all MockMvcBuilder
implementations provide
some common and very useful features. For example, you can declare an Accept
header for
all requests and expect a status of 200 as well as a Content-Type
header in all
responses, as follows:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
// static import of MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup
MockMvc mockMvc = standaloneSetup(new MusicController())
.defaultRequest(get("/").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
.alwaysExpect(status().isOk())
.alwaysExpect(content().contentType("application/json;charset=UTF-8"))
.build();
// Not possible in Kotlin until https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-22208 is fixed
In addition, third-party frameworks (and applications) can pre-package setup
instructions, such as those in a MockMvcConfigurer
. The Spring Framework has one such
built-in implementation that helps to save and re-use the HTTP session across requests.
You can use it as follows:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
// static import of SharedHttpSessionConfigurer.sharedHttpSession
MockMvc mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(new TestController())
.apply(sharedHttpSession())
.build();
// Use mockMvc to perform requests...
// Not possible in Kotlin until https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-22208 is fixed
See the javadoc for
ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder
for a list of all MockMvc builder features or use the IDE to explore the available options.
