NoSuchBeanDefinitionException when configuring test that uses WebTestClient as described in the user guide

[jnizet]

The instructions in https://docs.spring.io/spring-restdocs/docs/2.0.3.RELEASE/reference/html5/#getting-started-documentation-snippets-setup cause an exception to be thrown. Replacing WebApplicationContext with ApplicationContext makes the test pass.

Here's a complete minimal project reproducing the issue: https://github.com/jnizet/webtestclientrestdocsissue

This test with WebApplicationContext fails, but this test with ApplicationContext passes.

Thanks for the sample. WebApplicationContext is Servlet-specific so the docs are wrong for the WebTestClient case where the context is likely to be for a reactive web app.

[jnizet]

Thanks for the explanation. That's what I suspected.

Just ran into this as well. Will be good if this is fixed, would have avoided my SO question (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55138027/spring-rest-docs-with-junit-5-and-webflux) :-)
