I\'am trying to do a simple Integration test using Spring Boot Test in order to test the e2e use case. My test does not work because I\'am not able to make the repository sa

Answer 1

Thanks to M. Deinum, I think I get the point, So the best is to separate the logic of the test into two tests, the first will testing just the service (so this one could be transactional) and the second the controller:

Test 1:

@Test
@Transactional
public void testServiceSaveAndRead() {
    personService.createPerson(1, "person1");
    Assert.assertTrue(personService.getPersons().size() == 1);
}

Test 2:

@MockBean
private PersonService personService;

@Before
public void setUp() {
    //mock the service
    given(personService.getPersons())
            .willReturn(Collections.singletonList(new Person(1, "p1")));
}

@Test
public void testController() {
    ResponseEntity persons = restTemplate.getForEntity("/persons", Person[].class);
    Assert.assertTrue(persons.getBody()!=null && persons.getBody().length == 1);
}

Hope that it will help someone someday ... thanks for all of you
