file type need to be org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile. This is the super interface above CommonsMultiPartFile and MockMultipartFile. If you have done this, then you can create a mock of the multipart file itself with an mock object that is provided by spring, just like below:
MockMultipartFile mockMultipartFile = new MockMultipartFile(String name, String originalFilename, String contentType, byte[] content);
