Spring Boot setup security for testing

Question

I\'m unable to configure correctly the security in my tests. My web security configuration:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class WebSecurityConf         


        

Answer 1

As said in reference for Spring Security 4.0.4:

In order to use Spring Security with Spring MVC Test it is necessary to add the Spring Security FilterChainProxy as a Filter. It is also necessary to add Spring Security’s TestSecurityContextHolderPostProcessor to support Running as a User in Spring MVC Test with Annotations. This can be done using Spring Security’s SecurityMockMvcConfigurers.springSecurity().

Example:

import static org.springframework.security.test.web.servlet.setup.SecurityMockMvcConfigurers.*;

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration
@WebAppConfiguration
public class TestControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext wac;

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders
                .webAppContextSetup(wac)
                .apply(springSecurity()) //will perform all of the initial setup to integrate Spring Security with Spring MVC Test
                .build();
    }

Make the following modifications to your code:

   @Autowired
   private FilterChainProxy filterChainProxy;


    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
        this.mockMvc = webAppContextSetup(wac).dispatchOptions(true).addFilters(filterChainProxy).build();
    }
