ContentResultMatchers

protected ContentResultMatchers()

Protected constructor. Use MockMvcResultMatchers.content().

Method Detail

contentType

public ResultMatcher contentType(String contentType)

Assert the ServletResponse content type. The given content type must fully match including type, sub-type, and parameters. For checking only the type and sub-type see contentTypeCompatibleWith(String).

contentType

public ResultMatcher contentType(MediaType contentType)

Assert the ServletResponse content type after parsing it as a MediaType. The given content type must fully match including type, sub-type, and parameters. For checking only the type and sub-type see contentTypeCompatibleWith(MediaType).

contentTypeCompatibleWith

public ResultMatcher contentTypeCompatibleWith(String contentType)

Assert the ServletResponse content type is compatible with the given content type as defined by MediaType.isCompatibleWith(MediaType).

contentTypeCompatibleWith

public ResultMatcher contentTypeCompatibleWith(MediaType contentType)

Assert the ServletResponse content type is compatible with the given content type as defined by MediaType.isCompatibleWith(MediaType).

encoding

public ResultMatcher encoding(String characterEncoding)

Assert the character encoding in the ServletResponse.

See Also:

ServletResponse.getCharacterEncoding()

string

public ResultMatcher string(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? super String> matcher)

Assert the response body content with a Hamcrest Matcher.

 mockMvc.perform(get("/path"))
   .andExpect(content(containsString("text")));
 

string

public ResultMatcher string(String expectedContent)

Assert the response body content as a String.

bytes

public ResultMatcher bytes(byte[] expectedContent)

Assert the response body content as a byte array.

xml

public ResultMatcher xml(String xmlContent)

Parse the response content and the given string as XML and assert the two are "similar" - i.e. they contain the same elements and attributes regardless of order.

Use of this matcher requires the XMLUnit library.

Parameters:

xmlContent - the expected XML content

MockMvcResultMatchers.xpath(String, Object...), MockMvcResultMatchers.xpath(String, Map, Object...)

node

public ResultMatcher node(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? super Node> matcher)

Parse the response content as Node and apply the given Hamcrest Matcher.

source

public ResultMatcher source(org.hamcrest.Matcher<? super Source> matcher)

Parse the response content as DOMSource and apply the given Hamcrest Matcher.
