Spring Boot tests (MockMvc) - received HTTP status code 400, expecting 200

Question

Could somebody tell me what is wrong in the following test?

shouldThrowNotAuthorizedException works fine, but the test for shouldCreateUser returns a HTTP status code 400.

UserControllerTest:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(UserController.class)
public class UserControllerTest extends BaseControllerTest {

@Autowired
private MockMvc mvc;

@MockBean
private UserService userService;


@Before
public void setUp(){
    mvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(UserController.class)
            .setControllerAdvice(new ExceptionControllerAdvice())
            .build();
}

@Test
public void shouldThrowNotAuthorizedException () throws Exception {

  UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO = createRandomUserCredentialsDTO();
  Gson gson = getGsonInstance();

   given(this.userService.isAuthorized(userCredentialsDTO)).willThrow(NotAuthorizedException.class);

   this.mvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/user/authorize")
           .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
           .content(gson.toJson(userCredentialsDTO)))
   .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().is4xxClientError());
}

@Test
public void shouldCreateUser() throws Exception {

    Gson gson = getGsonInstance();
    UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO =  createRandomUserCredentialsDTO();

     given(this.userService.create(userCredentialsDTO)).willReturn(ResponseEntity.ok(userCredentialsDTO));

   this.mvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.post("/user")
            .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
            .content(gson.toJson(userCredentialsDTO)))
           .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().is2xxSuccessful())
           .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.content().json(gson.toJson(userCredentialsDTO)));
 }

private SuperUser createSuperUser(UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO) {
    SuperUser user = new SuperUser();
    user.setUserName(userCredentialsDTO.getUserName());
    user.setPassword(userCredentialsDTO.getPassword());
    return user;
}

private UserCredentialsDTO createRandomUserCredentialsDTO() {
    UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO = new UserCredentialsDTO();
    userCredentialsDTO.setUserName("Test");
    userCredentialsDTO.setPassword("GGGaaa@@4");
    userCredentialsDTO.setUserRole(UserRole.CUSTOMER);
    return userCredentialsDTO;
 }



}

UserController:

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/user")
public class  UserController {

@Autowired
private UserService userService;

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<UserCredentialsDTO> createUser(@RequestBody  UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO) {
    return userService.create(userCredentialsDTO);
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/authorize", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<UserCredentialsDTO> authorizeUser(@RequestBody UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO) {
    return userService.isAuthorized(userCredentialsDTO);
}

UserServiceImpl:

@Override
public ResponseEntity<UserCredentialsDTO> create(UserCredentialsDTO userCredentialsDTO) {

    User user = null;

    switch (userCredentialsDTO.getUserRole()) {
        case SUPER_USER:
            user = new SuperUser();
            break;
        case CUSTOMER:
            user = new Customer();
            break;
    }

    user.setPassword(userCredentialsDTO.getPassword());
    user.setUserName(userCredentialsDTO.getUserName());

    userRepository.save(user);

    return ResponseEntity.ok(userCredentialsDTO);
}

Exception

java.lang.AssertionError: Range for response status value 404 
Expected :SUCCESSFUL
Actual   :CLIENT_ERROR

What's wrong with this test?

Stacktrace:

java.lang.AssertionError: Range for response status value 404

Also I noticed some warnings in logs:

Why are you having @RequestBody in RequestMethod Get. only for POST, input will be sent as part of the request body . For your information : HTTP GET with request body:

And the description of the GET method in the HTTP/1.1 spec, section 9.3: The GET method means retrieve whatever information ([...]) is identified by the Request-URI. which states that the request-body is not part of the identification of the resource in a GET request, only the request URI.

please remove @RequestBody or else make it post request and try.
