Spring Controller测试随机失败

Question

There is a project with 20 controllers approximately. Each controller has its corresponding test class. When we try to add new controller tests classes, some of the previous tests which were running fine, starts to fail randomly. If any controller test class is annotated with @Ignore, tests get back to normal.

This is the exception thrown by the failing tests:

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.springframework.web.context.support.GenericWebApplicationContext@22f3fadf has been closed already.

Full log of one failing test:

Tests are very similar, basically the common structure is:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(Controller.class)
public class ControllerTest {

    private static final String URL_TEMPLATE = ".....";

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mvc;

    @Autowired
    private ObjectMapper mapper;

    @MockBean
    private Service service;

    private CustomParams params;
    private CustomRequest request;

    @Before
    public void init() {
        // initialize params and request ...
    }

    @Test
    public void methodOk() throws Exception {
        when(service.method(refEq(params))).thenReturn(RESPONSE);

        mvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.post(URL_TEMPLATE)
                .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8)
                .content(mapper.writeValueAsString(request)))
                .andExpect(status().isOk())
                .andExpect(jsonPath(STATUS_MESSAGE_PATH, is(MESSAGE_CODE_OK)))
                .andExpect(jsonPath(STATUS_CODE_PATH, is(STATUS_OK.getStatusCode()))));
    }


    @Test
    public void badRequest() throws Exception {
        mvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.post(URL_TEMPLATE))
                .andExpect(status().isBadRequest())
                .andExpect(jsonPath(ERROR_MESSAGE_PATH).isNotEmpty());
    }

Controllers have a structure like the following:

@RestController
public class Controller {

    private Service service;

    @PostMapping(value = "/api/some-url", produces = {"application/json"})
    public ResponseEntity<CustomResponse> method(
            @RequestHeader("someheaders") Integer someHeaders,
            @RequestBody CustomRequest someBody) {

        CustomParams params = new CustomParams();
        params.setApplicationType(applicationType);
        params.someHeaders(someHeaders);

        return service.method(params);
    }

I can't understand the reason of the exceptions and the fact that they occur in different tests in each run.

I've changed classes and variable's names due to confidentiality.

You should use DirtiesContext annotation on your tests. This will assure you'll get clean context on each test and they will not not interfere with eachother
