Status expected:<200> but was:<404> in spring test

Question

I have this class:

    package controllers;

    import static org.junit.Assert.*;
    import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
    import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
    import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;
    import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

    import java.util.HashSet;

    import org.junit.Before;
    import org.junit.Test;
    import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
    import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
    import org.mockito.Mock;
    import org.mockito.MockitoAnnotations;
    import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
    import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;


    import org.springframework.ui.Model;
    import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;

    import com.epam.hhsystem.model.candidate.Candidate;
    import com.epam.hhsystem.services.CandidateService;
    import com.epam.hhsystem.web.controllers.CandidateMenuController;
    import org.springframework.test.context.web.WebAppConfiguration;
    import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.*;
    import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc;
    import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.ResultActions;
    import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockHttpServletRequestBuilder;
    import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders;


    import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.*;

    import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.*;
    import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;
    import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.get;
    import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.*;


    @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:/test/BeanConfig.xml" })
    @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
    @WebAppConfiguration
    public class CandidateControllerTest {

        @Mock(name = "candidateService")
        private CandidateService candidateService;

        @InjectMocks
        private CandidateMenuController candidateMenuController = new CandidateMenuController();

        @Autowired
        WebApplicationContext wac;

        MockMvc mockMvc;

        @Before
        public void before() {
            MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
              this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).dispatchOptions(true).build();

        }
@Test 
    public void testgoToCandidateMenuMockMvc() throws Exception { 
        //MockHttpServletRequestBuilder request = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/goToCandidateMenu");


        MockHttpServletRequestBuilder request = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/goToCandidateMenu");
        ResultActions result = mockMvc.perform(request);
        result.andExpect(status().isOk());
     }
}

When I execute it I see:

Controller code:

@Controller
public class CandidateMenuController extends AbstractController {
...
@RequestMapping("/goToCandidateMenu")
    public String goToCandidateMenu() {
        return "candidateMenu";
    }
...
}

Can you help me to fix my problem?

Answer 1

Your test setup is wrong you aren't initializing the MockMvc correctly and that is al clearly in the reference guide. FIrst of all you have twice the initializing code and you aren't assing the result of the call to the build method. So you are basically left with an empty MockMvc object.

@Before
public void before() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
    MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).dispatchOptions(true).build();
    MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).dispatchOptions(true).build();
}

Should be

@Before
public void before() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
    this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).dispatchOptions(true).build();
}

As stated this is all explained in the reference guide.

Answer 2

I believe you just haven't enabled <mvc:annotation-driven> in your beanconfig.xml and so your @Controller classes just aren't being registered.

Add this

<mvc:annotation-driven></mvc:annotation-driven>
