[FIXED] Spring Boot org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed

Issue

I work to test a RESTful API and the test method is provided,

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.MOCK)
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class AppointmentAPITest {


    /*
     * we need a system to simulate this behavior without starting a
     * full HTTP server. MockMvc is the Spring class that does that.
     * */
    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @MockBean
    private AppointmentAPI api;


    @Test
    public void getAppointments_findById() throws Exception {


        Appointment appoint1 = new Appointment(Date.valueOf("2018-09-01"), Time.valueOf("01:12:16"), "Vania Vong", 125.5);
        Appointment appoint2 = new Appointment(Date.valueOf("2018-10-15"), Time.valueOf("08:30:00"), "Maria Wang", 275);


        given(api.findById(1L)).willReturn(ResponseEntity.ok(appoint1));
        given(api.findById(2L)).willReturn(ResponseEntity.ok(appoint2));

        mockMvc.perform(get("/api/v1/appointments/1")

                .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
                .andExpect(status().isOk())
                .andExpect(jsonPath("$", hasSize(1)))
                .andExpect(jsonPath("$[0].name_of_doctor", is(appoint1.getName_of_doctor())));
    }}

The entity is provided below,

@Entity
public class Appointment {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @Column
    private java.sql.Time created_at;

    @Column
    @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd")
    private java.sql.Date appointment_date;

    @Column
    @Size(min = 3, max = 20)
    private String name_of_doctor;

    @Embedded
    private Status status;

    @Column
    private double price;

    public Appointment() {

    }

    public Appointment(Date appointment_date, Time created_at, String name_of_doctor, double price) {

        this.created_at = created_at;
        this.appointment_date = appointment_date;
        this.name_of_doctor = name_of_doctor;
        this.price = price;
    }

    public Appointment(String name_of_doctor, Status status, double price) {

        this.name_of_doctor = name_of_doctor;
        this.status = status;
        this.price = price;
    }


    public Appointment(String name_of_doctor, double price) {

        this.name_of_doctor = name_of_doctor;
        this.price = price;
    }


    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Time getCreated_at() {
        return created_at;
    }

    public void setCreated_at(Time created_at) {
        this.created_at = created_at;
    }

    public Date getAppointment_date() {
        return appointment_date;
    }

    public void setAppointment_date(Date appointment_date) {
        this.appointment_date = appointment_date;
    }

    public String getName_of_doctor() {
        return name_of_doctor;
    }

    public void setName_of_doctor(String name_of_doctor) {
        this.name_of_doctor = name_of_doctor;
    }

    public Status getStatus() {
        return status;
    }

    public void setStatus(Status status) {
        this.status = status;
    }

    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public void setPrice(double price) {
        this.price = price;
    }


    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (!(o instanceof Appointment)) return false;
        Appointment that = (Appointment) o;
        return Double.compare(that.getPrice(), getPrice()) == 0 &&
                Objects.equals(getId(), that.getId()) &&
                Objects.equals(getCreated_at(), that.getCreated_at()) &&
                Objects.equals(getAppointment_date(), that.getAppointment_date()) &&
                Objects.equals(getName_of_doctor(), that.getName_of_doctor()) &&
                Objects.equals(getStatus(), that.getStatus());
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {

        return Objects.hash(getId(), getCreated_at(), getAppointment_date(), getName_of_doctor(), getStatus(), getPrice());
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Appointment{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", created_at=" + created_at +
                ", appointment_date=" + appointment_date +
                ", name_of_doctor='" + name_of_doctor + '\'' +
                ", status=" + status +
                ", price=" + price +
                '}';
    }
}

The API end-point is provided below,

  @RestController
  @RequestMapping("/api/v1/appointments")

public class AppointmentAPI {


    @Autowired
    AppointmentServiceImpl service;
@GetMapping("/{id}")
    public ResponseEntity<Appointment> findById(@PathVariable Long id) {


        Optional<Appointment> appointment = service.findById(id);

        if (!appointment.isPresent()) {
            ResponseEntity.badRequest().build();
        }

        return ResponseEntity.ok(appointment.get());
    }



   // ..............
   }

When I run the test, I get the error provided,

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Name for argument type [java.lang.Long] not available, and parameter name information not found in class file either.

Why does it saying the Name for argument type [java.lang.Long] not available, and parameter name information not found in class?

Solution

Add the name to the annotation in the method parameter:

findById(@PathVariable("id") Long id)
