mockMvc - Test Error Message

Question

Does anybody have any tips, or does anybody know how I can test the \"error message\" returned by the HTTP response object?

@Autowired
private WebApplicationCont         


        

Answer 1

This is the solution I found using JsonPath and MockMvc

this.mvc.perform(post(BASE_URL).contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).content(responseJson)).andDo(print())
.andExpect(status().is5xxServerError())
.andExpect(jsonPath("$.message", is("There is an error while executing this test request ")));

Hope this helps.
