Spring Boot MockMvc escapes dots from URL

Question

If I make:

@Autowired
protected MockMvc mockMvc;

mockMvc.perform(delete("/example/test@email.com");

Controller gets test@email instead of test@email.com. How to pass URL with dot to MockMvc?

Answer 1

You have to extend your Controllers Method to accept dots.

E.g. you can write it like this:

@RequestMapping(value = "/delete/{email:.*}",
        method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
