Answer
Forgetting to configure the MockMvc object.
A common mistake is to forget configuring MockMvc, leading to NullPointerExceptions or tests that don't run as expected. Ensure you set up MockMvc with @AutoConfigureMockMvc or create it using MockMvcBuilders in your test setup. For example, initializing it for a user controller test ensures that HTTP requests are correctly simulated.
