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.
Issue: SPR-13719
The inner MimeTypeResolver class is no longer necessary in the
MockServletContext since the Java Activation Framework (JAF) is a
standard part of Java SE since Java 6.
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.

SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, SpringClassRule, and SpringMethodRule now
throw an IllegalStateException with a meaningful message if JUnit 4.9
is not present in the classpath (specifically if
org.junit.runners.model.MultipleFailureException cannot be loaded).
Issue: SPR-13521
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 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.
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.
