Spring Security provides support for running tests as a specific user.
For example, the test in the snippet below will run with an authenticated user that has the ADMIN
role.
@Test @WithMockUser(roles="ADMIN") public void requestProtectedUrlWithUser() throws Exception { mvc .perform(get("/")) ... }
Spring Security provides comprehensive integration with Spring MVC Test and this can also be used when testing controllers using the @WebMvcTest
slice and MockMvc
.
For additional details on Spring Security’s testing support, refer to Spring Security’s reference documentation).
