unit testing REST client — mock the service

Question

I am trying to test REST client functionality when the response status indicates error. So I want to mock the rest service to return an error code (like 404) and test that the client is handling the error cases correctly. Is there a way to mock the service?

Answer 1

Try Mockito

It's a nice mocking framework for Java

Answer 2

尝试使用Spring MVC测试支持 。

Answer 3

mockito is a good choice for unit testing. If you are interested in automated integration testing you might wanna try some webservice mocking tool, such as this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/soaprest-mocker

You can set response code and/or response body on mock, execute your request against the mock and verify request(s) that reached the mock.
