使用 Spring REST Docs 记录空值

Question

假设我们有以下 API:

@RestController
public class PersonController {
    @GetMapping("/api/person")
    public List<Person> findPeople() {
        return Arrays.asList(new Person("Doe", "Foo", "John"), new Person("Doe", null, "Jane"));
    }
}

模型 class 看起来像这样：

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
public class Person {
    private String lastName;
    private String middleName;
    private String firstName;
}

正如您在控制器中看到的，列表中第二个对象的 middleName 属性是 null。我现在正在尝试使用 Spring REST Docs 来记录 API 的属性，因此我编写了以下测试：

@Test
public void findAllReturnsPeople() throws Exception {
    mockMvc.perform(get("/api/person").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.[0].firstName", is("John")))
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.[0].middleName", is("Foo")))
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.[0].lastName", is("Doe")))
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.[1].firstName", is("Jane")))
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.[1].middleName", nullValue()))
        .andExpect(jsonPath("$.[1].lastName", is("Doe")))
        .andDo(document("person-get", responseFields(
            fieldWithPath("[].firstName").description("The given name of a person"),
            fieldWithPath("[].middleName").description("The optionally given middle name of a person"),
            fieldWithPath("[].lastName").description("The last- or family name of a person"))));
}

通过使用 responseFields() 和 fieldWithPath() 属性，我试图对每个字段进行描述。但是，对于中间名，此方法失败，抛出以下异常：

但是，当我更改代码并将第二个 Person 对象的中间名更改为 "Bar" 时，错误消失，并且正确生成了代码段。

此外，当我删除 fieldWithPath("[].middleName") 代码并运行测试时，出现以下异常：

org.springframework.restdocs.snippet.SnippetException: The following parts of the payload were not documented:
[ {
  "middleName" : "Foo"
}, {
  "middleName" : null
} ]

这是有道理的，因为在这种情况下没有记录中间名属性。

我的问题是如何防止此错误并记录 middleName 属性的作用？

这是我到目前为止尝试过的：

仅记录非空值，例如 [0].middleName（这会导致相同的异常）
将类型显式更改为 JsonFieldType.STRING 或 JsonFieldType.VARIES（这也会导致相同的异常）

Answer 1

您需要告诉 REST Docs 该字段是可选的。您可以通过在 FieldDescriptor:

上调用 optional() 方法来完成此操作

.andDo(document("person-get", responseFields(
        fieldWithPath("[].firstName").description("The given name of a person"),
        fieldWithPath("[].middleName").description("The optionally given middle name of a person").optional(),
        fieldWithPath("[].lastName").description("The last- or family name of a person"))));
