I am getting an error when trying to run a groovy test with MockMvc

My test class looks like below:

@WebMvcTest
class BehavioralTest extends Specification{

  @Autowired
  MockMvc mvc;

// my test cases here

When adding compileTestGroovy.enabled = false in build.gradle as was proposed in another answer now I am getting this:

Execution failed for task ':test'.

No tests found for given includes: [com.example.MyTestClass](--tests filter)

Interestingly it also breaks all the other groovy tests in my application (not only on the annotated class).

Any ideas how to make it work?

CodePudding user response：

Looking at the Build Scan you shared, it looks like you are actually building a webflux project. @WebMvcTest only works with spring-mvc style webapps. You should be using @WebFluxTest instead.
