23. Reactive Test Support

23.1 Testing Reactive Method Security

For example, we can test our example from Chapter 22, EnableReactiveMethodSecurity using the same setup and annotations we did in Section 9.1, “Testing Method Security”. Here is a minimal sample of what we can do:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = HelloWebfluxMethodApplication.class)
public class HelloWorldMessageServiceTests {
    @Autowired
    HelloWorldMessageService messages;

    @Test
    public void messagesWhenNotAuthenticatedThenDenied() {
        StepVerifier.create(this.messages.findMessage())
            .expectError(AccessDeniedException.class)
            .verify();
    }

    @Test
    @WithMockUser
    public void messagesWhenUserThenDenied() {
        StepVerifier.create(this.messages.findMessage())
            .expectError(AccessDeniedException.class)
            .verify();
    }

    @Test
    @WithMockUser(roles = "ADMIN")
    public void messagesWhenAdminThenOk() {
        StepVerifier.create(this.messages.findMessage())
            .expectNext("Hello World!")
            .verifyComplete();
    }
}

23.2 WebTestClientSupport

Spring Security provides integration with WebTestClient. The basic setup looks like this:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = HelloWebfluxMethodApplication.class)
public class HelloWebfluxMethodApplicationTests {
    @Autowired
    ApplicationContext context;

    WebTestClient rest;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        this.rest = WebTestClient
            .bindToApplicationContext(this.context)
            // add Spring Security test Support
            .apply(springSecurity())
            .configureClient()
            .filter(basicAuthentication())
            .build();
    }
    // ...
}

23.2.1 Authentication

After applying the Spring Security support to WebTestClient we can use either annotations or mutateWith support. For example:

@Test
public void messageWhenNotAuthenticated() throws Exception {
    this.rest
        .get()
        .uri("/message")
        .exchange()
        .expectStatus().isUnauthorized();
}

// --- WithMockUser ---

@Test
@WithMockUser
public void messageWhenWithMockUserThenForbidden() throws Exception {
    this.rest
        .get()
        .uri("/message")
        .exchange()
        .expectStatus().isEqualTo(HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN);
}

@Test
@WithMockUser(roles = "ADMIN")
public void messageWhenWithMockAdminThenOk() throws Exception {
    this.rest
        .get()
        .uri("/message")
        .exchange()
        .expectStatus().isOk()
        .expectBody(String.class).isEqualTo("Hello World!");
}

// --- mutateWith mockUser ---

@Test
public void messageWhenMutateWithMockUserThenForbidden() throws Exception {
    this.rest
        .mutateWith(mockUser())
        .get()
        .uri("/message")
        .exchange()
        .expectStatus().isEqualTo(HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN);
}

@Test
public void messageWhenMutateWithMockAdminThenOk() throws Exception {
    this.rest
        .mutateWith(mockUser().roles("ADMIN"))
        .get()
        .uri("/message")
        .exchange()
        .expectStatus().isOk()
        .expectBody(String.class).isEqualTo("Hello World!");
}

23.2.2 CSRF Support

Spring Security also provides support for CSRF testing with WebTestClient. For example:

this.rest
    // provide a valid CSRF token
    .mutateWith(csrf())
    .post()
    .uri("/login")
    ...
