This commit upgrade to Spring Framework 4.3.6.RELEASE. A side-effect
of this change is that the Content-Type header is now always the first
header when building a request with MockMvc. One test has been updated
to reflect this change in ordering.
Closes gh-342
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.

- Rebase on latest code, and make use of new support for the same
TemplatedSnippet producing multiple snippets with different names
from the same template
- Expand the documentation
- Apply code formatting
- Add support for relaxed documentation of a request part's fields
Closes gh-270
Previously a TemplatedSnippet could only write snippets with the
same name as its template. This meant that the same template could
not be used to produce multiple snippets with different names.
This commit separates the snippet name from the template name, thereby
allowing the snippet name to vary while the template name remains the
same. For backwards compatibility, the default behaviour is for the
template name and snippet name to remain the same. The new overloaded
constructor can be used when the names need to differ.
Closes gh-320
The previous approach had (at least) two problems:
- A Gradle build run from a directory that also contains a pom.xml
would result in the resolver incorrectly identifing that Maven was
being used
- A Maven build run from a directory that did not could a pom and
that used -f to provide the path to a pom would result in the
resolver incorretly indentifying that Gradle was being used
With this commit, the resolver now uses the presence of the maven.home
system property to identify that Maven is being used. When Maven
is being used, rather than looking for a pom.xml in the working
directory, the resolver now locates the pom.xml by searching up the
directory hierarchy from the docdir.

* gh-310:
Polish contribution and rework to use default attribute rather than macro
Provide a default output directory for snippets based on build tool
Rather than introducing a custom macro, this commit opts to implicitly
configure the snippets attribute instead. The attribute is configured
will the path into which snippets are generated, relative to the
directory that contains the Asciidoctor document that is being
rendered.
The samples and documentation have been updated to use the new
spring-restdocs-asciidoctor module and the implicitly configured
snippets attribute.
Closes gh-297
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.
See gh-297
Previously, the logic that determined the field’s type would incorrectly
look at the contents of the array. For example, if the array contained
one or more objects, the field’s type would be resolved as Object rather
than Array.
This commit updates JsonFieldPath to record when a path explicitly
identifies an array so that the array itself is used to determine the
field’s type rather than its contents.
Closes gh-292
QueryStringParser has been moved into the operation page. In the
unlikely event that there were any external users of the class, a
deprecated version remains in the cli package for backwards
compatibility. It will be removed in 1.2.
Closes gh-286
Missing optional fields require a type to be explicitly provided as
it cannot be inferred from the payload. Ignored fields are not
included in the documentation, yet, previously, a field that was
missing, optional, and ignored would still require a type to be
provided otherwise the test would fail. This was pointless as the
field wasn't going to appear in the documentation.
This commit updates the fields snippets so that a type is no longer
required for a field that is missing, optional and ignored.
Closes gh-289
