Spring MVC Test empty json

Question

How can I test for an empty JSON response from a rest endpoint. I was hoping for something along the lines:

    ResultActions actions = mockMvc.perform(..);
    actions.andExpect(jsonPath("$", empty()));

obviously this fails as {} is not exactly empty. Any advice?

Answer 1

Try this one:

 ResultActions actions = mockMvc.perform(..);
 actions.andExpect(content().string("[]"));

Answer 2

This worked for me:

ResultActions actions = mockMvc.perform(..);
actions.andExpect(content().string(""));
