Unit Testing Rest Services with Spring Boot and JUnit

Unit Testing Rest Services with Spring Boot and JUnit

The reason is because you are mocking your controller. This is not necessary when you have @WebMvcTest(UserResourceController.class)

This should work.

@ContextConfiguration(classes={TestSystemConfig.class})
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(UserResourceController.class)
public class UserResourceControllerTests {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mvc;

    @Test
    public void getUser() throws Exception {

        mvc.perform(get(/api/users/1)
                   .with(user(pere.peris@gmail.com).password(password))
                   .contentType(APPLICATION_JSON))
                   .andExpect(status().isOk());

    }
}
