Provides patterns for unit testing REST controllers using MockMvc and @WebMvcTest. Generates controller tests that validates request/response mapping, validation, exception handling, and HTTP status codes. Use when testing web layer endpoints in isolation for API endpoint testing, Spring MVC tests, mock HTTP requests, or controller layer unit tests.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Unit Testing REST Controllers with MockMvc ## Overview Provides patterns for unit testing `@RestController` and `@Controller` classes using MockMvc. Covers request/response handling, HTTP status codes, request parameter binding, validation, content negotiation, response headers, and exception handling with mocked service dependencies. ## When to Use Use for: controller tests, API endpoint testing, Spring MVC tests, mock HTTP requests, unit testing web layer endpoints, verifying REST controllers in isolation. ## Instructions 1. **Setup standalone MockMvc**: `MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(controller)` for isolated testing 2. **Mock service dependencies**: Use `@Mock` for all services, `@InjectMocks` for the controller 3. **Test HTTP methods**: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with correct status codes 4. **Validate responses**: JsonPath assertions for JSON, content matchers for body 5. **Test validation**: Send invalid input, verify 400 status with error details 6. **Test errors**: Verify 404, 400, 401, 403, 500 for appropriate conditions 7. **Validate headers**: Both request (Authorization) and response headers …

How to install
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/unit-test-controller-layer@sha256:bc48c323c63325eeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
