Spring Test How to test a JSON Array in jsonPath
By:Roy.LiuLast updated:2019-08-11
In Spring, we can use Hamcrest APIs like hasItem and hasSize to test a JSON Array. Review the following example :
package com.mkyong; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.web.servlet.AutoConfigureMockMvc; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; import org.springframework.boot.test.mock.mockito.MockBean; import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders; import org.springframework.http.MediaType; import org.springframework.test.context.ActiveProfiles; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc; import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*; import static org.mockito.ArgumentMatchers.any; import static org.mockito.Mockito.times; import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.post; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultHandlers.print; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.jsonPath; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.status; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest @AutoConfigureMockMvc @ActiveProfiles("test") public class BookControllerTest { @Autowired private MockMvc mockMvc; @MockBean private BookRepository mockRepository; /* "timestamp":"2019-03-05T09:34:13.280+0000", "status":400, "errors":["Author is not allowed.","Please provide a price","Please provide a author"] */ //article : jsonpath in array @Test public void save_emptyAuthor_emptyPrice_400() throws Exception { String bookInJson = "{\"name\":\"ABC\"}"; mockMvc.perform(post("/books") .content(bookInJson) .header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)) .andDo(print()) .andExpect(status().isBadRequest()) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.timestamp", is(notNullValue()))) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.status", is(400))) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.errors").isArray()) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.errors", hasSize(3))) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.errors", hasItem("Author is not allowed."))) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.errors", hasItem("Please provide a author"))) .andExpect(jsonPath("$.errors", hasItem("Please provide a price"))); verify(mockRepository, times(0)).save(any(Book.class));
P.S Tested with Spring Boot 2
