MockRestServiceServer simulate backend timeout in integration test

Question

I am writing some kind of integration test on my REST controller using MockRestServiceServer to mock backend behaviour. What I am trying to achieve now is to simulate very slow

Approach that you can go for: Specifying the responsebody either with Class Path resource or normal string content. More detailed version of what Skeeve suggested above

.andRespond(request -> {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(5)); // Delay
            } catch (InterruptedException ignored) {}
            return withStatus(OK).body(responseBody).contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).createResponse(request);
        });
