Spring Boot 2.1 - @WebMvcTest without Spring Security Auto-Configuration

Question

Before migrating to Spring Boot 2.1, we had a couple of controller tests in our services utilizing @WebMvcTest in combination with @AutoConfigureMockMvc

Answer 1

Encountered the same scenario and what helped was using the below annotations instead of @WebMvcTest. In this case, @WithMockUser did not help.

@WebAppConfiguration
@Import({MockMvcAutoConfiguration.class})
@EnableConfigurationProperties({ResourceProperties.class, WebMvcProperties.class})

Classes that existed in controllers / value of @WebMvcTest goes into value of @Import annotation.
