title: Error when using @WebMvcTest annotation on a Spring Boot test class
body: <p>I've written a test class for a Spring MVC controller by following the "Testing the Spring MVC slice" section described <a href="https://spring.io/blog/2016/04/15/testing-improvements-in-spring-boot-1-4" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.  The class looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
  @WebMvcTest(controllers=OurController.class)
  public class OurControllerTest {
      @Autowired
      private MockMvc mvc;
  
      @MockBean
      private OurRepository ourRepository;
  
      @Test
      public void testGetStuff() {
          // code removed
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I ran it, I got the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MockHttpServletResponse:
             Status = 401
      Error message = null
            Headers = {Cache-Control=[no-store], Pragma=[no-cache], WWW-Authenticate=[Bearer realm="oauth2-resource", error="unauthorized", error_description="Full authentication is required to access this resource"], Content-Type=[application/json;charset=UTF-8], X-Content-Type-Options=[nosniff], X-XSS-Protection=[1; mode=block], X-Frame-Options=[DENY]}

  <p>The "Full authentication is required to access this resource" error is mentioned <a href="https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/6514" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, and it suggests a couple workarounds.  I tried changing the annotations on my test class to the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
  @WebMvcTest(controllers=OurController.class, includeFilters = @ComponentScan.Filter(classes=EnableWebSecurity.class))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I got the following error:</p>

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I found another <a href="https://dzone.com/articles/testing-spring-mvc-with-spring-boot-14-part-1" rel="noreferrer">page</a> that suggested using the @AutoConfigureMockMvc annotation to solve the "Full authentication is required to access this resource" error, so I changed the annotations to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
  @WebMvcTest(controllers=OurController.class)
  @AutoConfigureMockMvc(secure=false)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it resulted in the same "No qualifying bean found for dependency [org.springframework.security.config.annotation.ObjectPostProcessor]: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate" as the previous error.  I even emailed the author of that article and he replied saying he's never seen this error.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain why the @WebMvcTest annotation isn't working for me?</p>
