Issue testing Accept request header in Spring MockMvc

I am trying to unit test SpringBoot Controller. Objective is to test that we return 406 Not Acceptable when request header contains Accept as anything other than application/json. But I find its not working with MockMvc. I am getting 200 OK instead of 406. Any ideas please! Of course, service returns 406 as expected when I test using Postman or any rest client.

@Test
public void shouldRejectIfInvalidAcceptHeaderIsPassed() throws Exception {

    HttpHeaders httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
    httpHeaders.add("Accept","application/xml");
    httpHeaders.add("Authorization", "some jwt token");

    this.mockMvc.perform(post("/sample/test")
            .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
            .headers(httpHeaders)
            .content(toJson("")))
            .andExpect(status().isNotAcceptable());

    // Then
    verify(mockSampleService).getSampleOutput();
}

And my controller looks like,

@RestController
@Validated
@RequestMapping(PATH_PREFIX)
public class SampleController {

    public static final String PATH_PREFIX = “/sample”;

    private final SampleService sampleService;

    @Autowired
    public SampleController(SampleService sampleService) {
        sampleService = sampleService;
    }


    @RequestMapping(value = “/test”, method = RequestMethod.POST))
    public SampleResponse createSession() {
        return sampleService.getSampleOutput();
    }

}

You might consider using the accept() method instead, e.g.

    mvc.perform( MockMvcRequestBuilders
        .get("/some/test/url")
        .content(...)
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
        .andExpect(...)

Ahh! I have identified and fixed the issue. In the controller we need to have, @RequestMapping(headers="Accept=application/json"). Else MockMvc is not able to identify the expected format.
