How to write mockito test for post request

Question

This function is used to update the user details in the database. can someone help me to write test cases for this function.

@RequestMapping(value = "/updateDetails", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String updateVendorDetails(@Valid @ModelAttribute("users") Users users, BindingResult result,Model model) {
        logger.info("{}.{}",new VendorController().getClass().getPackageName(), new VendorController().getClass().getName());

        if(result.hasErrors()) {
            model.addAttribute("edit","edit");
            logger.warn("Function: updateVendorDetails(), Information: Error while updating vendor details");
            return register.toString();
        }
        userDao.updateVendorDetails(users);
        logger.info("Function: updateVendorDetails(), Information: Vendor details updated successfully");
        return vendor.toString();
    }

Update

Code:

mockMvc.perform(post("/updateDetails").accept(MediaType.TEXT_HTML).params(params)).andExpect(status().isOk());

Resulting error:

This says that post method is forbidden and my test fails

This is my Test class

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class TestVendorPage {

    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext context;

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(context).apply(springSecurity()).build();
    }




    @WithMockUser(roles = "VENDOR")
    @Test
    public void testIfUpdateEdtailsIsAvailableOnlyForVendor() throws Exception {

        MultiValueMap<String, String> params = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
        params.add("firstName", "vinod");
        params.add("lastName", "babu");
        params.add("contactNumber", "9952016709");
        mockMvc.perform(post("/updateDetails").accept(MediaType.TEXT_HTML).params(params)).andExpect(status().isOk());
    }


}

Please add some code on what you have tried so far in writing mockito test. what issue you faced ? — Ajit Soman, Mar 20 '20 at 05:12
We can't just tell you how to "test this method". You need to learn how to test. SUGGESTION: Please consider working through any/all of these tutorials: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-testing, https://spring.io/guides/gs/testing-web/, https://mkyong.com/spring-boot/spring-rest-integration-test-example/ — FoggyDay, Mar 20 '20 at 05:15

Regarding your update:

Thank you for clarifying your post with a specific error/specific problem.
For that specific error - HTTP 403: Forbidden - this should resolve the problem:

Unit test Springboot MockMvc returns 403 Forbidden

i think probleam is happend in "mockMvc" object is not autowired.mockMvc object should load from WebApplicationContext in before program run.

Please - PLEASE - consider looking at one or more of the links I cited above.

I've found all three sites very valuable resources. Time spent with these tutorials will help you a great deal!

well i have autowired the webApplicationContext. Sorry i didn't post the entire code. But it still gives the same forbidden error. — AMITH SAI, Mar 20 '20 at 06:16
