How to check String in response body with mockMvc

by

You can call andReturn() and use the returned MvcResult object to get the content as a String.

See below:

MvcResult result = mockMvc.perform(post("/api/users").header("Authorization", base64ForTestUser).contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
            .content("{\"userName\":\"testUserDetails\",\"firstName\":\"xxx\",\"lastName\":\"xxx\",\"password\":\"xxx\"}"))
            .andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print())
            .andExpect(status().isBadRequest())
            .andReturn();

String content = result.getResponse().getContentAsString();
// do what you will
