NoSuchBeanDefinitionException in a @WebMvcTest test class

Question

I would like to test my rest endpoint in BookRestController. I write one test with @WebMvcTest.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(BookRestController.class)
public class BookRestControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @MockBean
    private CategoryService categoryService;

    private ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

    @Test
    public void should_create_new_category_when_try_to_update() throws Exception {

        given(categoryService.getCategoryById(20L)).willReturn(null);
        Category category = new Category("Fantastyka");

        ResultActions resultActions = mockMvc.perform(put("/api/category/10")
        .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        .content(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(category)));

        resultActions.andExpect(status().isNoContent());

    }
}

In the repository package I have 4 repositories but in my testing endpoint I use only one of them.

And this is my method from BookRestController

@RestController
public class BookRestController {

    @Autowired
    private CategoryService categoryService;

  @RequestMapping(value = "/api/category/{id}", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
    public ResponseEntity<Category> updateCategory(@PathVariable Long id, @RequestBody Category category){

        return ResponseEntity
                .status(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT)
                .body(categoryService.updateCategory(id, category));
    }
}

Now when I run test I gets an error

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'demoApplication': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.sda.spring.demo.repository.BookRepository' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {}

Why? I don't use BookRepository in my test. How can I fix this?

Spring Boot: v2.1.0.RELEASE

EDIT: It works. I miss about @Autowire BookRepository in my DemoApplication... I deleted this code and now it works

@Autowired
    private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    private BookRepository bookRepository;

    private CategoryRepository categoryRepository;

    @Autowired
    public DemoApplication(BookRepository bookRepository, CategoryRepository categoryRepository) {
        this.bookRepository = bookRepository;
        this.categoryRepository = categoryRepository;
    }

And what does your bean demoApplication look like ? Because it needs your Repo — Sodala
@Sodala you're right I miss about @Autowired in my DemoApplication... — lukassz

your main application class will load any bean defined, or functionality that enables via annotations.

e.g. @EnableSchedling, @ComponentScan, @Import etc.

Will all load up in a slice test.

See this documentation for more detail,

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-testing.html#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-user-configuration

If you structure your code in a sensible way, your @SpringBootApplication class is used by default as the configuration of your tests.

It then becomes important not to litter the application’s main class with configuration settings that are specific to a particular area of its functionality.
