How to test a custom extension (SPI Authenticator)

[Alvaro Arenas]

Hi there,

I have created some Authenticators and a required action and wonder what would be the best approach to make some acceptance tests. I am thinking something similar on what the own keycloak test suit does with Arquillian. However, I don't know what would be the right way to start with this. We also have some integration from the keycloak authenticators to an external service. I don't need to test the real integration with the service. I am happy with some type of mocking for this interface. I am interested in testing the keycloak bits.

Is there a cleaver way i could leverage the keycloak codebase by including it in my project. If yes, which subproject should I import?

Or is there some other approach for this?

I have not used arquillian and I am under the impression that to use the keycloak test suite with my code, i will have to add my project to the keycloak parent project.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Hey Alvaro,

I am using Testcontainers with Keycloak Testcontainers extension for this purpose in my own project.

You can find the dependencies needed in the pom here and an example test here.
