Displaying a User Email using keycloak Admin Client not working(UnrecognizedPropertyException)

Question

I'm trying to display a userEmail() or to display all the information about a user in our realm in general.

I'm trying to invoke this method :-

@Test 
    public void displayUser(){

        UsersResource users=kc.realm("SpringBoot").users();
        UserResource user=users.get("b3479699-430b-4cd3-be96-d26db584d207"); //Succeeds, we have the user
        UserRepresentation ur=user.toRepresentation();
        System.out.println(ur.getEmail());


    }

But it fails, giving me this error:-|

javax.ws.rs.client.ResponseProcessingException: javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "notBefore" (class org.keycloak.representations.idm.UserRepresentation), not marked as ignorable (25 known properties: "disableableCredentialTypes", "enabled", "emailVerified", "origin", "self", "applicationRoles", "createdTimestamp", "clientRoles", "groups", "username", "totp", "id", "email", "federationLink", "serviceAccountClientId", "lastName", "clientConsents", "socialLinks", "realmRoles", "attributes", "firstName", "credentials", "requiredActions", "federatedIdentities", "access"])

I wonder if there is a proper way to display the information about the user or even to display the users we have in our realm !

I appreciate your help.

I saw it, I'm already using Jackson provider 2. That solved a first issue I had, but the UserRepresentation has a problem everytime I try to use it I get Unrecognizedfield. While RoleRepresentation works well! — Ziko, Sep 26 '17 at 17:15
Which version of Keycloak are you using ? Are you sure you are using the same version for the server and the admin client classes ? — Sébastien Blanc, Sep 27 '17 at 06:13
Hello Sebastien !! First of all I'm glad you replied to my comment, I have always been a fan to your videos. I'm using keycloak-admin-client 3.1.0 Final and keycloak server 3.3.0.CR2, do you suggest anything? @SébastienBlanc — Ziko, Sep 27 '17 at 13:24
@SébastienBlanc Okay by fixing the different versions problem, it worked ! Thank you so much :) — Ziko, Sep 27 '17 at 16:54

Just to make it more visible, I do repeat Sébastien's Blanc answer found in the comments.

The keycloak adapter and client dependencies are not the same version, so Jackson got some fields that cannot be mapped to a class (in this case the field notBefore was not available in the UserRepresentation class).

So in your pom.xml, make sure depencies are the same. For example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
    <artifactId>keycloak-spring-security-adapter</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
    <artifactId>keycloak-admin-client</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

Yeah thank you so that is becomes helpful for other people who face the same problem I faced. — Ziko, Nov 17 '17 at 14:53
