How do I match URL using MockMvc's redirectedUrlPattern?

Question

I've been trying to verify the redirect URL of the controller I'm testing but no matter what pattern I use, the test always fails. Even calling andExpect(redirectedUrlPattern("*")) fails. According to the docs, it's using Ant pattern, so I'm not sure why it keeps failing. I'm sure that the redirect URL is being set because redirectUrl works properly.

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be a way to match everything. It definitively distinguishes between absolute and relative paths.

/**/* matches all absolute paths

**/* matches all relative paths

Examples of what is possible:

• Learning Ant path style
• How do I use Nant/Ant naming patterns?
• Confusion with ANT pattern syntax and possible variations

If you give a concrete example of something you want to match I can give you a pattern that will work

Answer 2

I know it is an old topic but I was able to do this validation like the example below:

        this.mockMvc
            .perform(get("/oauth2/authorization/a-registration-id")
                    .param("redirect_uri", "http://localhost:3000/api/callback")
                    .with(csrf())
                    .header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE))
            .andExpect(status().isFound())
            .andExpect(header().string("Location", containsString("redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/api/callback")));
