Previously, when a field was documented it would implicitly document
the whole subsection of the payload identified by that field. This
could lead to users inadvertently failing to document part of the
payload. Arguably, this was a bug as it violated REST Docs' principle
of producing accurate, detail documentation. However, fixing it
requires a breaking change as people may also be relying on this
behaviour. A balance needed to be struck so the fix is being made in
a minor release.
This commit introduces a new subsectionWithPath method which returns a
SubsectionDescriptor; a specialisation of FieldDescriptor. Users
that were intentionally relying on the old behaviour will have to
replace some usage of fieldWithPath with subsectionWithPath instead.
Users who were unintentionally relying on the old behaviour will have
to add some additional descriptors produced using fieldWithPath and
will receive more accurate documentation in return.

Rather than requiring an output directory to be explcitly configured,
a default is now automatically configured based on the build tool
that's being used. When using Gradle, snippets will be generated in
build/generated-snippets. When using Maven, snippets will be
generated in target/generated-snippets.

Previously, RestAssuredRequestConverter only supported request and
request part content that was null, a String or a byte[]. This was
particularly problematic for multipart requests as RestAssured performs
some internal conversion which meant that, no matter what the when a
byte[] was provided it was wrapped in a ByteArrayInputStream meaning
that the converter could not read it.
The commit improves RestAssuredRequestConverter so that it will now
convert File content and InputStream content where the stream supported
reset().

Previously, OperationRequestFactory would add a Host header if one did
not already exist in the request’s headers, however it did not include
the port. This meant that when the request was being made to a
non-standard port (a port other than 80 for an HTTP request and 443 for
an HTTPS request) the Host header was incorrect.
This commit updates OperationRequestFactory to check the URI for a port
and, if it has one, include it in the Host header.
UriModifyingOperationPreprocessor has also been updated to correctly
include the port in the Host header.

Previously, if alwaysDo was used and the user wanted to generate
one or more additional snippets when calling perform a separate call
to `snippets` was made prior to calling `perform`. This had two
problems:
- it required the result handler to be stateful (see gh-243)
- it wasn't clear that the additional snippets would be produced when
a subsequent call to perform was made
This commit introduces a new API that allows the additional snippets
to be specified within the MockMvc call. The old API has been
deprecated and will be removed in 2.0.
Closes gh-249
Previously, a LinkDescriptor had to be created with both a rel and a
description. If a description was not provided a failure would occur.
This commit relaxes the above-described restriction by allowing a
link's title to be used as its default description. If a descriptor
has a description, it will always be used irrespective of whether or
not the link has a title. If the descriptor does not have a
description and the link does have a title, the link's title will be
used. If the descriptor does not have a description and the link does
not have a title a failure will occur.
Closes gh-105
Previously, when UriModifyingOperationPreprocessor modified a URI it
would always encode it. However, the URIs being modified will always
have been encoded, resulting in double-encoding of the URI.
This commit updates UriModifyingOperationPreprocessor to tell
UriComponentsBuilder that the components have already been encoded.
This ensures that they are not encoded for a second time when the URI
is being built.

In 1.0, the reliance on JUnit was more widespread than it should have
been. It should have been isolated to the JUnit TestRule implementation,
RestDocumentation. Unfortunately, RestDocumentation was also an argument
to MockMvcRestDocumentation.documentationConfiguration which made it
impossible to use Spring REST Docs without having JUnit on the
classpath.
This commit introduces JUnitRestDocumentation and
ManualRestDocumentation. The format is a direct replacement for
RestDocumentation which has been reworked to delegate to
JUnitRestDocumentation. The latter allows manual management of the
RestDocumentationContext, primarily for use with TestNG.
A new interface, RestDocumentationContextProvider, has been introduced.
It is implemented by RestDocumentation, JUnitRestDocumentation and
ManualRestDocumentation.
MockMvcRestDocumentation.documentationConfiguration has been overridden
to also accept a RestDocumentationContextProvider. The method that
accepts a RestDocumentation has been deprecated, as has
RestDocumentation itself.
The documentation has been updated to encourage the use of
JUnitRestDocumentation and a sample illustrating the use of Spring REST
Docs with TestNG has been added.
Closes gh-171
Previously, logic for creating an Operation, determining the snippets
to call, and calling them was duplicated in both the MockMvc and
REST Assured modules. This commit introduces a new core class,
RestDocumentationHandler, that now does the bulk of the work in a
reusable manner. The MockMvc and REST Assured modules have been
updated to delegate to RestDocumentationHandler.
Closes gh-194
This commit introduces support for generating snippets formatted
using Markdown. Asciidoctor remains the default.
A new SnippetFormat abstraction has been introduced with Asciidoctor
and Markdown implementations provided out of the box.
Markdown-formatted templates are also provided for all of the default
snippets.
Please refer to the updated reference documentation for further
details.
Closes gh-150
Closes gh-19
This commit adds a new module, spring-restdocs-restassured, that
can be used to generate documentation snippets when testing a service
with REST Assured.
Please refer to the updated reference documentation for details.
Thanks to Johan Haleby for making a change to REST Assured so that
path parameters could be documented.
Closes gh-102
