spring - Spock test - RESTClient: HttpResponseException: Not Found -

i want write test request when api returns 404.

my test:

   def "should return 404 - object deleted before"() {         setup:         def advertisementendpoint = new restclient( 'http://localhost:8080/' )         when:         def resp = advertisementendpoint.get(                 path: 'api/advertisement/1',                 contenttype: groovyx.net.http.contenttype.json         )         then:         resp.status == 404     } 

my error:

you need failure handler underlying httpbuilder. httpbuilder javadoc:

you can set default response handler called status code 399 not matched specific handler. setting value outside request closure means apply future requests httpbuilder instance:

http.handler.failure = { resp -> println "unexpected failure: ${resp.statusline}" }

therefore:

@grapes(     @grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.7.1') )  import groovyx.net.* import groovyx.net.http.*     def restclient = new restclient('http://localhost/wrong') restclient.handler.failure = { resp -> resp.status } def response = restclient.get([:]) assert response == 404
