Spring RestDoc 1.1:MockMvcRestDocumentation.documentationConfiguration not working with JUnitRestDocumentation

Question

I have configured as follows my rest docs with Junit4 ,with spring boot 1.4

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Application.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@ActiveProfiles(SPRING_PROFILE_ACTIVE_TEST)
public class CustomerDetailsControllerWACTest {

    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext  wac;


    @Rule
    public final JUnitRestDocumentation documentation =
            new JUnitRestDocumentation("build/generated-snippets");

    private RestDocumentationResultHandler document;

    MockMvc mockMvc;


    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception
    {
        this.document = document("{method-name}", preprocessRequest(prettyPrint()), preprocessResponse(prettyPrint()));


        this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(wac).
                apply(documentationConfiguration(this.documentation))
                .alwaysDo(this.document)
                .build();
    }

But the error is The method documentationConfiguration(RestDocumentation) in the type MockMvcRestDocumentation is not applicable for the arguments (JUnitRestDocumentation)

The documentation also has same configuration as mentioned here.But still it is showing above error.

RestDocs Dependancies(version): spring-restdocs-core-1.1.1 and spring-restdocs-mockmvc-1.0.1

Answer 1

You have incompatible version mismatch. You should use the same versions of core and mockmvc.

The JUnitRestDocumentation from spring-restdocs-core 1.1.1 cannot be applied to MockMvcRestDocumentation.documentationConfiguration(RestDocumentation) since that method in version 1.0.1 only accepts RestDocumentation. The overloaded method accepting the interface RestDocumentationContextProvider was added in 1.1.
