Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'mockMvc' - Junit 5 - spring-boot

Question

I wanted to write a feature test for my spring boot application that will run end-to end like from controller to repository.
For this same error I tried following the below solutions but it did not work and was giving the same error.
https://mkyong.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-test-unable-to-autowired-mockmvc/
https://www.yawintutor.com/error-45940-no-qualifying-bean-of-type-org-springframework-test-web-servlet-mockmvc-available/
I use the below configuration.

Also this is the test class that I wrote.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.web.reactive.AutoConfigureWebFlux;
import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.web.servlet.AutoConfigureMockMvc;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort;
import org.springframework.test.annotation.DirtiesContext;
import org.springframework.test.context.ActiveProfiles;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.get;
import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.status;
/*#ActiveProfiles("mock")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT, properties = "spring.main.web-application-type=reactive")
//#AutoConfigureWebTestClient
#AutoConfigureMockMvc*/
#ActiveProfiles("mock")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT, properties = "spring.main.web-application-type=reactive")
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class EmpWorkFeatureTest {
/* #Autowired
private WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext;*/
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Test
void contextLoads() {
}
#Autowired
private EmpController empController;
#Autowired
private EmpService empService;
#Autowired
private EmpRetriever empRetriever;
#BeforeEach
public void setup() {
this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(empController).build();
}
#Test
public void testEmp() throws Exception {
this.mockMvc.perform(get("/api/v1/work/search").param("work", "completed"))
.andExpect(status().isOk());
}
}
So when I execute the test case am getting error:
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'com.employee.EmpWorkFeatureTest': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'mockMvc'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate.

I ran into the same situation with Spring Boot (2.6.7) and JUnit5.
I got it solved by creating the mockMvc instance directly (not autowired) using the following code:
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders;
class MyTest {
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#BeforeEach
public void setUp(WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext) {
this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(webApplicationContext)
... // customize to your needs
.build();
}
}
In order to org.springframework.test.* available add spring-test as a test dependency.
