MockMVC and Mockito returns Status expected <200> but was <415>

Question

I'm testing an api endpoint which works from a http poster (namely PAW) but I cant get a test in the code to pass.

I'm new to both Mockito and MockMVC so any help would be appreciated.

Test below:

 @Test
 public void createPaymentTest() throws Exception {
    User user = new User("ben", "password", "a@a.com");

    SuccessResponseDTO successDTO = new SuccessResponseDTO();
    successDTO.setSuccess(true);

    when(userService.getLoggedInUser()).thenReturn(user);
    when(paymentService.makePayment(Mockito.any(PaymentRequestDTO.class), Mockito.any(User.class))).thenReturn(successDTO.getSuccess());

    this.mockMvc.perform(post("/payment")).andExpect(status().isOk())
            .andExpect(content().contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)).andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print())
            .andExpect(jsonPath("$.success").value(successDTO.getSuccess()));

}

SuccessResponseDTO just contains one attribute, a boolean 'success'.

The method it's testing is below:

@RequestMapping(value = "/payment", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
@ResponseBody
public SuccessResponseDTO createPayment(@RequestBody PaymentRequestDTO payment) {
    User loggedInUser = userService.getLoggedInUser();
    LOGGER.info("Logged in user found...creating payment...");

    Assert.notNull(payment.getAccountId(), "Missing user account id");
    Assert.notNull(payment.getPayeeAccountNumber(), "Missing payee acount number");
    Assert.notNull(payment.getPayeeName(), "Missing payee name");
    Assert.notNull(payment.getPayeeSortCode(), "Missing payee sort code");
    Assert.notNull(payment.getPaymentAmount(), "Missing payee amount");
    Assert.notNull(payment.getPaymentDescription(), "Missing payment description");

    Boolean paymentResult = paymentService.makePayment(payment, loggedInUser);

    SuccessResponseDTO successResponse = new SuccessResponseDTO();

    successResponse.setSuccess(paymentResult);

    return successResponse;
}

Can anyone shed light on the stack trace:

Answer 1

HTTP Error 415 Unsupported media type - means that you send the data which is not supported by the service. In this case it means that you don't set the Content-Type header and actual content in the request. I suppose the JSON is expected content, so your call should look like this:

this.mockMvc.perform(post("/payment").contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    .content("{\"json\":\"request to be send\"}"))
    .andExpect(status().isOk())
    .and_the_rest_of_validation_part

Answer 2

You might also be missing some annotations on your controller class. Make sure you use @EnableWebMvc and @Controller

Answer 3

Also you might add accept

 mockMvc.perform(post("/api/sender/sms/")
            .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8)
            .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8)
            .content("{ \"serviceName\":\"serviceName\",  \"apiId\":\"apiId\",  \"to\":\"to\",  \"msg\":\"msg\" }")
    )
        .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk())
        .andReturn();
