spring-boot-testing

spring-boot-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to testing Spring Boot 4 applications, including small isolated tests, web-layer tests, database tests, full integration tests, and security tests. It also covers Testcontainers, which runs services such as databases in temporary containers during tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write unit tests, controller and repository tests, integration tests with Testcontainers, JWT or logged-in-user tests, and Modulith event tests.
Why use it?
It helps update tests for Spring Boot 4 changes and choose a suitable test type for each part of an application. It also provides patterns for testing secured endpoints and module events.

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

spring-boot-testing 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 yesterday.

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.

Spring Boot 4 Testing

Comprehensive testing patterns including slice tests, Testcontainers, security testing, and Modulith Scenario API.

Critical Breaking Change

Old (Boot 3.x) New (Boot 4.x) Notes
@MockBean @MockitoBean Required migration
@SpyBean @MockitoSpyBean Required migration
MockMvc (procedural) MockMvcTester (fluent) New AssertJ-style API
Implicit @AutoConfigureMockMvc Explicit annotation required Add to @SpringBootTest

MockMvcTester (Spring Boot 4)

New fluent, AssertJ-style API for controller testing:

@WebMvcTest(UserController.class)
class UserControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvcTester mvc;  // NEW: Fluent API

    @Test
    void getUser_returnsUser() {
        mvc.get().uri("/users/{id}", 1)
            .exchange()
            .assertThat()
            .hasStatusOk()
            .bodyJson()
            .extractingPath("$.name")
            .isEqualTo("John");
    }
}

Key Benefits: Fluent assertions, better error messages, AssertJ integration.

Test Annotation Selection

Test Type Annotation Use When
Controller @WebMvcTest Testing request/response, validation
Repository @DataJpaTest Testing queries, entity mapping
JSON @JsonTest Testing serialization/deserialization
REST Client @RestClientTest Testing external API clients
Full Integration @SpringBootTest End-to-end, with real dependencies
Module @ApplicationModuleTest Testing bounded context in isolation

Core Workflow

  1. Choose test slice → Minimal context for fast tests
  2. Mock dependencies → @MockitoBean for external services
  3. Use Testcontainers → @ServiceConnection for databases
  4. Assert thoroughly → Use AssertJ, MockMvcTester (new), RestTestClient (new), WebTestClient
  5. Test security → @WithMockUser, JWT mocking

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.
