SecurityMockMvcResultHandlers
Spring Security provides a few ResultHandler
s implementations.
In order to use Spring Security’s ResultHandler
s implementations ensure the following static import is used:
import static org.springframework.security.test.web.servlet.response.SecurityMockMvcResultHandlers.*;
Exporting the SecurityContext
Often times we want to query a repository to see if some MockMvc
request actually persisted in the database.
In some cases our repository query uses the Spring Data Integration to filter the results based on current user’s username or any other property.
Let’s see an example:
A repository interface:
private interface MessageRepository extends JpaRepository<Message, Long> {
@Query("SELECT m.content FROM Message m WHERE m.sentBy = ?#{ principal?.name }")
List<String> findAllUserMessages();
}
Our test scenario:
mvc
.perform(post("/message")
.content("New Message")
.contentType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
)
.andExpect(status().isOk());
List<String> userMessages = messageRepository.findAllUserMessages();
assertThat(userMessages).hasSize(1);
This test won’t pass because after our request finishes, the SecurityContextHolder
will be cleared out by the filter chain.
We can then export the TestSecurityContextHolder
to our SecurityContextHolder
and use it as we want:
mvc
.perform(post("/message")
.content("New Message")
.contentType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
)
.andDo(exportTestSecurityContext())
.andExpect(status().isOk());
List<String> userMessages = messageRepository.findAllUserMessages();
assertThat(userMessages).hasSize(1);
