Dependencies

Use:

dependencies {
    testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

This started dependency pulls everything that is needed to write JUnit tests.

@SpringBootTest - this is required, otherwise beans won't get injected in our tests.

@WebMvcTest

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)

@IntegrationTest, @WebIntegrationTest

SpringBoot Test Example

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class MyTests {

    @Autowired
    private SomeComponent someComponentWeWantToTest;

    // ...

}
