Mock MVC @ControllerAdvice exception handlers

[nat...@ncjones.com]

I have Spring exception handlers that are common to all of my request mappings defined in a class annotated with @ControllerAdvice. Is it possible to make Rest Assured MockMVC aware of those exception handlers so that error responses work as expected during test execution?

Example controller advice:

@ControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionController {

    @ExceptionHandler(AccessDeniedException.class)
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED)
    public @ResponseBody
    String handleAllRuntimeException(AccessDeniedException ex) {
        return ex.getMessage();
    }

}

It may work if you bootstrap RA with a webAppContextSetup instead of standalone setup. Not sure though.. Otherwise you may need to bootstrap the test as a full-blown integration test (@IntegrationTest if you're using Spring Boot) and test it using vanilla REST Assured. I've been forced to use this approach several times when I want to test filters etc (and not have to define them in my test which I don't believe is a good idea).

I got this working with webAppContextSetup by following the tutorial at
http://www.petrikainulainen.net/spring-mvc-test-tutorial/. Although I
ended up switching to Spring Mock MVC I'm pretty sure the same approach
would have worked for Rest Assured.
