(Resolvido) Mock Mvc is always null

Question

I was trying to implement a controller test to guarantee that it would return the http 200 code, but when trying to run the test I received a NullPointerException exception.

Debugging the code I found that the MockMvc was null.

I already tried to add annotations like @SpringBootTest, @AutoConfigureMockMvc, @WebMvcTest, @ExtendWith and the MockMvc was still null and now I don't know what else to do to solve this problem

Note: I'm learning about these test things so if there's something bad in the code I'd appreciate it if you let me know

Here is my test code:

`
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
@WebMvcTest(BookController.class)
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@SpringBootTest
public class TestControlBook {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;


    @Test
    public void testListBooks() throws Exception{
        Response ResultActions = mockMvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/api/books/list"));
        response.andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk());
    }
}

here is my controller code:

`@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/books")
public class BookController {


    private BookService bookService;

    public BookController(BookService bookService) {
        this.bookService = bookService;
    }



    @GetMapping("/list")
    private ResponseEntity<Object> listBooks(){
        try {
            return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.OK).body(bookService.listBooks());
        }
        catch (Exception e){
            return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).body("An error occurred while trying to list the books, please try again later");
        }
    }
}

and here is my pom.xml:

Answer 1

I managed to solve the problem, what was happening was that the annotations were in conflict, causing the MockMvc not to be assigned. In addition, I changed some things so that the code was more readable and better.

The code is now like this:

@WebMvcTest(LivroController.class)
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class LivroControlerTeste {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @MockBean
    private LivroService livroService;

    @Test
    public void testarListarLivros() throws Exception{
       MvcResult mvcResult = mockMvc.perform(get("/api/livros/listar"))
               .andExpect(status().isOk()).andReturn();
    }
}
