Spring Test returning 404 instead of 200 in testing Rest API in Spring Boot

Question

To put simply, my controller is like this :

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/assetservice/rest/v1.0/")
public class LibrarySearchController {


    private LibraryService libServices;
    @Autowired
    public LibrarySearchController(LibraryService libraryService)
    {
        this.libServices = libraryService;
    }

    /**
     * Get Libraries for given Collection ids 
     * @param collectionIds
     * @return List<MediaLibraryDetail>
     */

    @RequestMapping("libraries/search/")

    public MediaLibraries getLibraryTree(@RequestParam(value="collectionIds", defaultValue="")String[] collectionIds, @RequestParam(value="offset",required=false,defaultValue = "0") int offset, @RequestParam(value="limit",required=false
            ,defaultValue = "10") int limit) throws Exception{


        MediaLibraries mediaLibraries = libServices.getAllLibraries(collectionIds, offset, limit);
        System.out.println(mediaLibraries);
        if(mediaLibraries.getLibraryElements()== null)
            throw new InvalidCollectionIdFoundException();

        return mediaLibraries;

    }
}

Basically what it is doing is taking some inputs like collectionId (an array of some numbers) , some offset and some limit and trying to give back some data.

To test this controller , I have written a test using spring test framework. I have simplified the test for asking the question here.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(value = LibrarySearchController.class, secure = false)
public class LibrarySearchControllerMockMvcTest {

//Some other code  was here
@Test
    public void testVerifyRetrievedMediaLibrariesJson() throws Exception{


        MediaLibraries mediaLibraries = createMediaLibrariesObject();//creates mediaLibraries Object; code not shown
        given(libraryService.getAllLibraries(collectionId,offset,limit)).willReturn(mediaLibraries); //mocking the service

        mvc.perform(get("assetservice/rest/v1.0/libraries/search/?collectionIds=418A70D0F31010038152080020F03012&offset=0&limit=1"))

                .andDo(print())
                .andExpect(status().isOk());

    }
}

It shows 404 error. I was expecting 200. Why ?

If you see the second line of error PageNotFound: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [assetservice/rest/v1.0/libraries/search/] in DispatcherServlet with name ''

Is it because of this ? How to resolve ? The error is :

Process finished with exit code -1

My application class is:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

}

and code runs fine. Only error is shown while testing.

Answer 1

Adding a slash at the beginning of the URL will solve this problem:

 mvc.perform(get("/assetservice/[...]")

Spring test probably takes the provided URL as-is when trying to match it to an endpoint and because of this can't find any matching endpoints in this case.
