Assertion of the `Location` header about spring-restdocs HOT 2 CLOSED

The link building methods in Spring HATEOAS rely on Spring Framework's RequestContextHolder to access the current request. The current request is used to determine the scheme, host, and port in the link. Given that you're trying to build a link in a test when there should be no current request, I'm surprised that it works at all.

The above doesn't really matter as I don't think you should be using a link builder in your test. By reusing the exact same logic in your test that you're using in your controller, you're not really testing that the controller is doing the right thing – if there's a bug in the controller then there's a high chance that you test will contain the same bug. I'd update your test to hardcode the expected URI for the Location header.
