Spring REST mock context path

Question

I try to set the context path for spring rest mocks using the following code snippet:

private MockMvc mockMvc;

@Before
public void setUp() {
    this.mockMvc

You need to include the context path in the path that you're passing to get.

In the case you've shown in the question, the context path is /api and you want to make a request to / so you need to pass /api/ to get:

@Test
public void index() throws Exception {
    this.mockMvc.perform(get("/api/").contextPath("/api").accept(MediaTypes.HAL_JSON))
            .andExpect(status().isOk())
            .andExpect(jsonPath("_links.business-cases", is(notNullValue())));
}
