Spring Test returning 401 for unsecured URLs

Question

I am using Spring for MVC tests

Here is my test class

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest
public class ITIndexController {

    @Autowired
    W         


        

Answer 1

Not sure if this was available when the original question was asked, but if truly not wanting to test the security portion of a web request (which seems reasonable if the endpoint is known to be unsecure), then I think this could be done simply by using the secure attribute of the @WebMvcTest annotation (it defaults to true so setting it to false should disable the auto-configuration of Spring Security's MockMvc support):

@WebMvcTest(secure = false)
