Module spring-boot-resttestclient is missing from spring-boot-starter-test-classic

[mhalbritter]

This has the consequence that TestRestTemplate isn't available when adding spring-boot-starter-test-classic, which makes upgrading from 3.5.x to 4.0.x harder than necessary.

Hi @mhalbritter ,
This looks like a good improvement for upgrade compatibility. I’d be happy to take a look at this.

My understanding is that this would involve adding spring-boot-resttestclient back to spring-boot-starter-test-classic so that TestRestTemplate remains available when upgrading from 3.5.x to 4.0.x.

Please let me know if that aligns with the intended approach.

[mhalbritter]

Yes, this is what we should do. spring-boot-starter-test-classic depends on spring-boot-test-classic-modules, and we need to add the dependency there.

[GollapudiSrikanth]

Thank for the clarification. I'll work on Updating spring-boot-test-classic-modules accordingly and submit a PR soon.
