What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of writing unit tests for your Spring Boot REST controllers, ensuring they function correctly without needing to spin up a full application context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Controller Testing: Use MockMvc and Mockito to test controllers independently of service or repository layers.
  • Request/Response Validation: Verify HTTP status codes, response bodies (JSON), headers, and parameter binding.
  • Error Handling: Test how controllers handle exceptions like 404 Not Found or 400 Bad Request.
  • Use Case: You've just implemented a new /api/products endpoint. Use this Skill to write tests that confirm it correctly accepts POST requests with product data, returns a 201 Created status, and validates input fields.

Quick Start

Use the unit-test-controller-layer skill to generate a basic JUnit 5 test for a GET endpoint that retrieves a user by ID.
