When i use webtestclient, i am getting on error message 'please use RestDocumentationRequestBuilders with urlTemplate to construct the request'

[JoeyCLO]

RestDocumentationRequestBuilders class is only use mockmvc. isn't it? However, when using the webtestclient, you must also use the RestDocumentationRequestBuilders.

• build.gradle.kts dependencies

        dependencies {
            // 2.0.6.RELEASE
            testImplementation("org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-core")
            testImplementation("org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-webtestclient")
            // 0.16.4
            testImplementation("com.epages:restdocs-api-spec:${project.extra["version.restdocsApiSpec"]}")
            testImplementation("com.epages:restdocs-api-spec-webtestclient:${project.extra["version.restdocsApiSpec"]}")
        }

• webtestclient usage

client.get()
          .uri {
              it.path(testPath)
                  .queryParam("styles", styles)
                  .build()
          }
          .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
          .exchange()
          .expectStatus().isOk
          .expectBody(String::class.java)
          .consumeWith (
              document("test try on", "get result", true,
                  requestParameters(
                      parameterWithName("styles").description("Sequence")
                  ),
                  responseHeaders(
                      headerWithName(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE).description(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON),
                  ),
                  responseFields(
                      fieldWithPath("estimatedTime").type(JsonFieldType.NUMBER).description("Estimated time"),
                      fieldWithPath("estimatedCount").type(JsonFieldType.NUMBER).description("Estimated count"),
                      fieldWithPath("requestTotalCount").type(JsonFieldType.NUMBER).description("Request total count"),
                  )
              )
          )

Is there any way to solve this problem?

You can use this instead (using the String version of the uri function):

client.get().uri(
	UriComponentsBuilder
		.fromPath(testPath)
		.queryParam("styles", styles)
		.toUriString()
)
