Method Detail

• contentType

  public ResultMatcher contentType(java.lang.String contentType)

  Assert the ServletResponse content type. The given content type must fully match including type, sub-type, and parameters. For checking only the type and sub-type see contentTypeCompatibleWith(String).

• contentType

  public ResultMatcher contentType(MediaType contentType)

  Assert the ServletResponse content type after parsing it as a MediaType. The given content type must fully match including type, sub-type, and parameters. For checking only the type and sub-type see contentTypeCompatibleWith(MediaType).

• contentTypeCompatibleWith

  public ResultMatcher contentTypeCompatibleWith(java.lang.String contentType)

  Assert the ServletResponse content type is compatible with the given content type as defined by MediaType.isCompatibleWith(MediaType).

• contentTypeCompatibleWith

  public ResultMatcher contentTypeCompatibleWith(MediaType contentType)

  Assert the ServletResponse content type is compatible with the given content type as defined by MediaType.isCompatibleWith(MediaType).

• encoding

  public ResultMatcher encoding(java.lang.String characterEncoding)

  Assert the character encoding in the ServletResponse.

  See Also:

  ServletResponse.getCharacterEncoding()

• string

  public ResultMatcher string(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? super java.lang.String> matcher)

  Assert the response body content with a Hamcrest Matcher.

   mockMvc.perform(get("/path"))
     .andExpect(content().string(containsString("text")));
   

• string

  public ResultMatcher string(java.lang.String expectedContent)

  Assert the response body content as a String.

• bytes

  public ResultMatcher bytes(byte[] expectedContent)

  Assert the response body content as a byte array.

• xml

  public ResultMatcher xml(java.lang.String xmlContent)

  Parse the response content and the given string as XML and assert the two are "similar" - i.e. they contain the same elements and attributes regardless of order.

  Use of this matcher requires the XMLUnit library.

  Parameters:

  xmlContent - the expected XML content

• node

  public ResultMatcher node(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? super org.w3c.dom.Node> matcher)

• source

  public ResultMatcher source(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? super javax.xml.transform.Source> matcher)

  Parse the response content as DOMSource and apply the given Hamcrest Matcher.

• json

  public ResultMatcher json(java.lang.String jsonContent)

  Parse the expected and actual strings as JSON and assert the two are "similar" - i.e. they contain the same attribute-value pairs regardless of formatting with a lenient checking (extensible, and non-strict array ordering).

  Parameters:

  jsonContent - the expected JSON content

• json

  public ResultMatcher json(java.lang.String jsonContent,
                            boolean strict)

  Parse the response content and the given string as JSON and assert the two are "similar" - i.e. they contain the same attribute-value pairs regardless of formatting.

  Can compare in two modes, depending on strict parameter value:

  • true: strict checking. Not extensible, and strict array ordering.
  • false: lenient checking. Extensible, and non-strict array ordering.

  Use of this matcher requires the JSONassert library.

  Parameters:

  jsonContent - the expected JSON content

  strict - enables strict checking
