Connection refused with rest assured junit test case

java rest junit rest-assured

The below test case gives me a connection refused exception and when i comment the method body it is success. So i believe there is no problem with ports but a problem with the rest assured invocation which i cant figure out. Even when i check with a rest client, the api it self successfully return books as json.

@Test
public void testMe() {      
    get("/book").then().assertThat().contentType(ContentType.JSON);
}

The controller looks like below,

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/book")
public class BookController {
//Other crud api's are there

   @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
   public Map<String, Object> getAllBooks(){
   List<Book> books = bookRepository.findAll();
   Map<String, Object> response = new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>();
   response.put("totalBooks", books.size());
   response.put("books", books);
   return response;
   }    
}

Exception trace,

Normally my application was running on Port 8080, but in the test it seemed to run on a different port (even though I haven't changed anything regarding the ports).

For me the following solved the problem:

Adding this to SpringBootTest:

@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)

Getting the assigned port (doesn't work without the random port setting):

@LocalServerPort
private int port;

Prefixing the rest-assured test with the new port setting:

given().port(port).when().get...

OR

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    RestAssured.port = port;
}
