ai-instructions: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/spring-boot-test.instructions.md

ai-instructions spring-boot-test.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from lsampaioweb/ai-instructions. It costs 1,046 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Spring Boot testing rules for checking controllers, repositories, services, and complete application integrations. It explains which test setup fits each layer and how to name test cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for HTTP contract tests, database repository tests, isolated unit tests, and full integration tests.
Why use it?
It helps tests stay focused and avoids starting the whole application when only one layer needs checking.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is lsampaioweb/ai-instructions's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on ai-instructions itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-instructions configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-instructions spring-boot-test.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spring Boot Testing Contract

These rules apply to automated tests in real application modules. i18n key-parity tests stay in the i18n contract. Compile/test verification after edits stays in the Java style contract. Security assertion expectations stay in the Security contract. HTTP load scripts stay in the k6 contract; do not run k6 from Maven Surefire. Do not restate those contracts here.

Applications must meet this contract for every feature they ship.

Dependencies

  • Add spring-boot-starter-test with test scope to every application module.
  • Add spring-boot-starter-webmvc-test with test scope when the module has a REST controller. Real REST apps always ship @WebMvcTest.
  • Import @WebMvcTest from org.springframework.boot.webmvc.test.autoconfigure. On Spring Boot 4, spring-boot-starter-test does not provide this class.
  • Add spring-security-test with test scope when the module tests Spring Security behavior.
  • Keep a one-line purpose comment above each dependency (pom contract).
  • Place test-scoped dependencies last in pom.xml (pom contract).

Mandatory baseline

  • Every application module has an *ApplicationTests class annotated with @SpringBootTest that proves the Spring context loads.
  • Every module with message bundles also has an I18nConsistencyTest (or equivalent) as required by the i18n contract.

REST controller tests

  • For each REST feature controller, ship at least one @WebMvcTest (or equivalent MockMvc slice) covering:
    • one happy-path request
    • one validation or domain-error path
  • Declare the service interface mock at class level with @MockitoBean (or the current Boot mock annotation); constructor-inject mocks used by test methods. Do not call a real database from a controller slice test.
  • Assert HTTP status, important headers (for example Location on create), and key JSON fields.
  • Prefer @WebMvcTest over a full @SpringBootTest for controller HTTP contract checks.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
