Similar to Authentication token passed to ControllerAdvice is null when running through MockMvc, my MockMvc tests for a Spring Boot 1.5.16 application with Spring Data REST and Spring Security always have a null Authentication parameter whether I add the context manually or with @WithUserDetails.
Is this a bug in Spring Security's testing code, or am I messing up somewhere?
The @RepositoryRestController methods look like:
@PostMapping("/resources/{id}/attributes")
public @ResponseBody ResponseEntity<?> attributes(
@PathVariable("id") long resourceId,
@RequestParam(value = "file", required = true) MultipartFile file,
Authentication authentication ) throws IOException {
// 2.
Subject.setAuthentication(authentication);
try (InputStream input = file.getInputStream()) {
attributeHandler.read(resourceId, file.getName(), input);
}
return ResponseEntity.ok(success());
}
and my MockMvc tests look like:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = Application.class)
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class RestControllerTest {
private MockMvc mockMvc;
@Autowired
private WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext;
@Before
public void setup() throws Exception {
this.mockMvc = webAppContextSetup(webApplicationContext)
.apply(springSecurity())
.build();
}
@Test
@WithUserDetails("myAttributeManagerUsername")
public void attributes() throws Exception {
// 1.
Authentication authentication =
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
mockMvc.perform(
MockMvcRequestBuilders.fileUpload(
"/api/resources/1/attributes"
).file(attributesFile())
// 3. .with(authentication(authentication)))
.andExpect(status().isOk());
}
}
Within the test method (at 1.) I have verified that authentication is present, but when the controller method is called (at 2.) the authentication is null, even if I manually set the context (at 3.) via .sessionAttr() or .with() (as shown). When running the application outside of the tests, the controller methods do get a proper authentication token (at 2.) with authenticated subjects.
Any ideas what's wrong in my tests?
