Junit, mocking principle

[Pablo Vidaurri]

I'm trying to test my custom webflow, for a few of the actions I have a principle. How do I mock the principle? I've reviewed cas code and see the use of  CoreAuthenticationTestUtil but for the life of me I cannot get the dependency included in my project.

Pablo,

Clone the cas repo, https://github.com/apereo/cas

Then search for that file

$ find . -name CoreAuthenticationTestUtils.java

./core/cas-server-core-authentication-api/src/test/java/org/apereo/cas/authentication/CoreAuthenticationTestUtils.java

Then

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-authentication-api"

So, I actually thought of doing that. But is it code I'll now have to maintain in my own repo and have jenkins also build. I guess no other choice.

Maybe you were not implying that I clone the subproject and include it in my overlay project.

My problem is that I include the following in my build.gradle:

testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-authentication-api:${project.'cas.version'}"

and in my test class I import:

import org.apereo.cas.authentication.CoreAuthenticationTestUtils;

I see the jar when I do a gradlew dependencies 

But I get a compile error when building:

   MyActionTest.java:27: error: cannot find symbol

   import org.apereo.cas.authentication.CoreAuthenticationTestUtils;

                                    ^

     symbol:   class CoreAuthenticationTestUtils

     location: package org.apereo.cas.authentication

     1 error

     > Task :compileTestJava FAILED

Pablo,

I only use the cas code for lookups. Where log messages are being generated, relationship among classes etc. It can be useful when something is not working the way you expect or if code has changed and docs have not been updated, etc.

You would not include it or any parts in your overlay project. I have a separate directory where I keep vendor sources.

Pablo,

Sorry, I missed an important point.

You will have to copy that file, CoreAuthenticationTestUtils, into your project (src/test/java/...). And update it during upgrades.

The test classes are not part of the jar files; just the files under src/main/java/...

When you build, if the included file has dependencies, you will get errors. Just repeat the steps to find the missing file and package.

The test classes that you might include should 'not' depend on too many other test classes, just the main classes (hopefully). I have only 2. If you find that you are copying in many test classes, then perhaps the feature you are working on would be better suited to inclusion in the cas project, https://fawnoos.com/2020/10/22/cas63x-codebase-feature-build/

P.S. This is my list of library includes (some may not be needed)

    testCompileOnly "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-webflow-api"

    testCompileOnly "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-util-api"

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-services-authentication"

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-authentication-api"

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-services"

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core"

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-api"

    testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-person-directory"

Ray, I owe you one.

Added to build.gradle:

testImplementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-authentication-api:${project.'cas.version'}"

Copied over following java files in their expected packages in src/test/java:

CoreAuthenticationTestUtils.java

SimpleTestUsernamePasswordAuthenticationHandler.java

I was able to mock the principle and get my junit test completed.

Let me know what your vice is and I'll do my best to send it over.
