Prior to this commit, the transaction manager and data source look-up
algorithms in the Spring TestContext Framework were not capable of
retrieving 'primary' beans of those types, even though 'primary' beans
are supported in production as well as for injecting dependencies into
test instances. Specifically, if there was more than one transaction
manager or data source bean and one of them was flagged as 'primary',
the retrieveTransactionManager() and retrieveDataSource() methods in
TestContextTransactionUtils would simply return null for such beans.
This commit updates TestContextTransactionUtils by adding support for
looking up primary transaction managers and data sources.
Issue: SPR-13891
Prior to this commit, a @Transactional integration test would silently
be executed without a transaction if the transaction manager could not
be retrieved from the application context -- for example, it no such
bean was defined or if multiple beans were present but none satisfied
the qualifier.
This commit addresses this issue by throwing an IllegalStateException
if the PlatformTransactionManager cannot be retrieved for a
@Transactional test.

Spring MVC Test now parses application/x-www-form-urlencoded request
content and populates request parameters from it.
This can be useful when running client-side tests against a MockMvc
via MockMvcClientHttpRequestFactory.
Issue: SPR-13733
Prior to this commit, Spring MVC Test only supported HTTP methods GET,
POST, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, TRACE and multipart file
upload. This change adds generic methods to MockMvcRequestBuilders in
order to allow testing of arbitrary HTTP methods in a Spring MVC
application.

Prior to this commit, HtmlUnitRequestBuilder stored empty query
parameters declared without an equals sign as null (i.e., query
parameters such as 'error' in 'http://example.com/login?error').
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that
HtmlUnitRequestBuilder treats all empty query parameter values as empty
strings. Consequently, query strings such as '?error' and '?error=' now
both result in 'error' being stored as an empty string.
Issue: SPR-13524
Prior to this commit, HtmlUnitRequestBuilder would incorrectly attempt
to decode null values for query parameters (i.e., query parameters such
as 'error' in 'http://example.com/login?error') which resulted in a
NullPointerException since URLDecoder.decode() does not support null
values.
This commit fixes this issue by ensuring that HtmlUnitRequestBuilder
only attempts to decode non-null query parameter values.
Issue: SPR-13524
This commit migrates all remaining tests from JUnit 3 to JUnit 4, with
the exception of Spring's legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework that
is still in use in the spring-orm module.
Issue: SPR-13514
The MockHttpServletRequestBuilder now uses java.net.URI internally
rather than UriComponents.
This means that for the MockMvcRequestBuilders method variants that
accept a java.net.URI we can use it as is. The difference is almost
none but it does mean that you can create a URI with double slashes
(for testing purposes) and have it remain that way.
Issue: SPR-13435
This commit introduces support for attribute overrides for
@ResponseStatus when @ResponseStatus is used as a meta-annotation on
a custom composed annotation.
Specifically, this commit migrates all code that looks up
@ResponseStatus from using AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation() to using
AnnotatedElementUtils.findMergedAnnotation().
Issue: SPR-13441
This change adds a new `getDateHeader` method that converts date header
Strings to long values - making tests more readable.
This feature is also documented in the "what's new section" for 4.2.
Before this commit RequestPartServletServerHttpRequest simply did an
instanceof check for MultipartHttpServletRequest. That hasn't failed
because request wrapping typically happens in filters before the
DispatcherServlet calls the MultipartResolver.
With Spring MVC Test and the Spring Security integraiton however,
this order is reversed since there we prepare the multipart request
upfront, i.e. there is no actual parsing.
The commit unwraps the request if necessary.
Issue: SPR-13317
This commit introduces new `isEmpty()` and `isNotEmpty()` methods in
`JsonPathResultMatchers` and `JsonPathRequestMatchers` which delegate
to the new `assertValueIsEmpty()` and `assertValueIsNotEmpty()` methods
in `JsonPathExpectationsHelper`, respectively.
Issue: SPR-13352
Commit fffdd1e9e9 introduced additional
JsonPath result matchers in JsonPathResultMatchers for server-side
testing of MVC controllers.
This commit introduces comparable methods in JsonPathRequestMatchers
for client-side testing with a RestTemplate.
- isString()
- isBoolean()
- isNumber()
- isMap()
Issue: SPR-13320
Prior to this commit, the exists() method in JsonPathExpectationsHelper
correctly asserted that the evaluated JsonPath expression resulted in a
value (i.e., that a non-null value exists); however, if the value was
an empty array, the exists() method always threw an AssertionError.
The existing behavior makes sense if the JsonPath expression is
'indefinite' -- for example, if the expression uses a filter to select
results based on a predicate for which there is no match in the JSON
document, but the existing behavior is illogical and therefore invalid
if the JsonPath expression is 'definite' (i.e., directly references an
array in the JSON document that exists but happens to be empty). For
example, prior to this commit, the following threw an AssertionError.
new JsonPathExpectationsHelper("$.arr").exists("{ 'arr': [] }");
Similar arguments can be made for the doesNotExist() method.
After thorough analysis of the status quo, it has become apparent that
the existing specialized treatment of arrays is a result of the fact
that the JsonPath library always returns an empty list if the path is
an 'indefinite' path that does not evaluate to a specific result.
Consult the discussion on "What is Returned When?" in the JsonPath
documentation for details:
https://github.com/jayway/JsonPath#what-is-returned-when
This commit addresses these issues by ensuring that empty arrays are
considered existent if the JsonPath expression is definite but
nonexistent if the expression is indefinite.
Issue: SPR-13351
Prior to this commit, a JsonPath assertion that a path expression
evaluated to an array in JsonPathExpectationsHelper (and therefore
indirectly in JsonPathResultMatchers in Spring MVC Test) would
incorrectly fail if the array was present in the JSON content but empty.
This commit fixes this issue by removing the "not empty" check for
arrays and lists.
