spring boot - web mvc test does not find controller mapping

Question

In this spring-boot project the following WebMvcTest fails because the GET /items mapping from the ItemController is not found

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(ItemController.class)
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class Test_ItemController {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mvc;

    @MockBean
    private ItemDao dao;

    @MockBean
    private CartDao cartDao;

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {
        // setting up mock response
        Cart cart = new Cart();
        cart.setId(1);

        Item item = new Item();
        item.setCart(cart);
        item.setItemName("toothbrush");
        item.setId(1);
        //---------------------

        List<Item> items = new ArrayList<>();
        items.add(item);

        given(this.dao.findAll()).willReturn(items);
        this.mvc.perform(get("items").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)).andExpect(status().isOk());
    }
}

The error is:

2018-02-26 12:10:45.816  WARN 12252 --- [           main] o.s.web.servlet.PageNotFound             : 
   No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [items] in DispatcherServlet with name ''

MockHttpServletRequest:
      HTTP Method = GET
      Request URI = items
       Parameters = {}
          Headers = {Accept=[application/json]}
             Body = <no character encoding set>
    Session Attrs = {}

Handler:
             Type = null

    Async started = false
     Async result = null

Resolved Exception:
             Type = null

ModelAndView:
        View name = null
             View = null
            Model = null

FlashMap:
       Attributes = null

MockHttpServletResponse:
           Status = 404
    Error message = null
          Headers = {}
     Content type = null
             Body = 
    Forwarded URL = null
   Redirected URL = null
          Cookies = []

Here is the controller (just a little experiment, so don't focus on missing ResponseEntity and missing service layer)

@RestController
public class ItemController 
{
    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ItemController.class);

    @Autowired ItemDao dao;

    @GetMapping("items")
    public List<Item> getAll()
    {
        List<Item> res = new ArrayList<>();
        dao.findAll().forEach(res::add);
        return res;
    }

    @PostMapping("items")
    public Item addItem(@RequestBody Item item)
    {
        return dao.save(item);
    }

    @GetMapping("items/{item_id}")
    public Item getItemById(@PathVariable("item_id") long item_id)
    {
        Item item = dao.findById(item_id).get();
        LOG.info(" ---------------- Retrieved item: {}", item.toString());
        return item;
    }
}

Thanks for the help

Answer 1

Yes, ok I forgot the slash in the endpoint

this.mvc.perform(get("/items").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)).andExpect(status().isOk());

simple comment instead of downvote would suffice imho
