What will happen if you run this MockMvc test?

mockMvc.perform(get("/users/1"))
       .andExpect(jsonPath("$.name").value("Alice"));

ATest passes if the JSON response has a 'name' field with value 'Alice'

BTest passes if the JSON response contains any 'name' field

CTest fails if the JSON response has 'name' field with value 'Alice'

DTest fails if the JSON response is empty

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand jsonPath assertion
The jsonPath("$.name").value("Alice") checks that the JSON response has a 'name' field equal to 'Alice'.
Step 2: Determine test pass condition
If the response JSON matches this exactly, the test passes; otherwise, it fails.
Final Answer:
Test passes if the JSON response has a 'name' field with value 'Alice' -> Option A
Quick Check:
jsonPath value check = 'name' equals 'Alice' [OK]

Quick Trick: Use jsonPath("$.field").value(val) to check JSON content [OK]
