Spring MVC testing: how to check if a model attribute does not exist?
Im using Spring 3.2.11.RELEASE. I am using the new MVC 3.2 mock framework for unit testing and usually I can check the attributes of the model using something like the following ...
private MockMvc mockMvc;
…
@Test
public final void test()
{
…
mockMvc.perform(get("/mypath")
.param("userId", customerId))
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andExpect(model().attribute("attr1", "value"))
.andExpect(view().name("my view"));
but how would I adjust the above to make sure the attr1 attribute was not included in my model?

Since the attributes of the model are stored in the map, you can check that the attribute value is null (assuming null is not a valid value for the attribute).
.andExpect(model().attribute("attr1", nullValue());
where nullValue()
- org.hamcrest.Matchers.nullValue
.

An even lighter approach than Mark:
.andExpect(model().attributeDoesNotExist("attr"))
