Spring MockMVC inject mockHttpServletRequest when not in method signature

Question

Given I have inherited some Spring MVC controller code with signature

@RequestMapping(value = \"/upload\", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView u         


        

Answer 1

You can add a RequestPostProcessor. Which you can then pass in to the mockmvc stuff by using the with() method.

mockMvc().perform(
  fileUpload("/upload")
  .file(FileFactory.stringContent("myFile"))
  .with(new RequestPostProcessor() { 
    public MockHttpServletRequest postProcessRequest(MockHttpServletRequest request) {
       request.setRemoteAddr("12345"); 
       return request;
    }}));

Something like that should work.
