        mockMvc.perform(asyncDispatch(result)).andExpect(status().isCreated()).andExpect(header().string("Location",org.hamcrest.Matchers.startsWith("http://localhost:80/users/id"))).andDo(print()).andReturn();
        
    }

How can I test if controller call an async service method like below?

CONTROLLER

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE})
    public ResponseEntity<Void> userSignup(@RequestBody User user, HttpServletResponse response, HttpServletRequest request) {
            userService.createUser(user);
            HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
            headers.setLocation(new URI("http://myhost.com/wlcome_page")));
            return new ResponseEntity<>(headers, HttpStatus.CREATED);
        }

SERVICE

@Async
    public Future<User> createUser(User user) Exception {
        user = userRepository.save(user);
        return new AsyncResult<>(user);
    }
