Keycloak Mock

Keycloak is a single sign-on solution that supports the Open ID connect standard. However, it does not deliver any test support. This library is intended to fill that gap.

Usage

All artifacts are available on Maven Central Repository under the group ID com.tngtech.keycloakmock.

Testing authenticated backend calls

When testing a REST backend that is protected by a Keycloak adapter, the mock allows to generate valid access tokens with configurable content (e.g. roles).

You can create and start the mock directly from the mock artifact using Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.tngtech.keycloakmock</groupId>
    <artifactId>mock</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
    <version>0.17.0</version>
</dependency>

or Gradle

testImplementation 'com.tngtech.keycloakmock:mock:0.17.0'

like this:

import static com.tngtech.keycloakmock.api.ServerConfig.aServerConfig;

import com.tngtech.keycloakmock.api.KeycloakMock;

class Test {

  void checkSomething() {
    KeycloakMock mock = new KeycloakMock(aServerConfig().withPort(8000).withDefaultRealm("master").build());
    mock.start();

    // do your test stuff

    mock.stop();
  }

  void quarkusKeycloakMocks() {
    // to mock Keycloak without context path (v18.0.0+)
    KeycloakMock mockNoContextPath = new KeycloakMock(aServerConfig().withNoContextPath().build());
    // or to use custom one
    KeycloakMock mockCustomContextPath = new KeycloakMock(aServerConfig().withContextPath("/context-path").build());
    // if context path is not provided, '/auth' will be used as default due to backward compatibility reasons
    KeycloakMock mockDefaultContextPath = new KeycloakMock(aServerConfig().build());
    // ...
  }
}

You can also use the convenience wrapper mock-junit for JUnit4

import com.tngtech.keycloakmock.junit.KeycloakMockRule;

public class Test {
  @ClassRule
  public static KeycloakMockRule mock = new KeycloakMockRule();

  // ...

}

or mock-junit5 for JUnit5

import com.tngtech.keycloakmock.junit5.KeycloakMockExtension;

class Test {
  @RegisterExtension
  static KeycloakMockExtension mock = new KeycloakMockExtension();

  // ...

}

to let JUnit start the mock for you.

You can then generate a token of your choosing by providing a TokenConfig:

import static com.tngtech.keycloakmock.api.TokenConfig.aTokenConfig;

class Test {

  String accessToken = mock.getAccessToken(aTokenConfig().withRole("ROLE_ADMIN").build());

  // ...

}

For a more in-detail test case, please have a look at the AuthenticationTest in our example backend project.

In addition to generating and signing tokens programmatically, the mock also offers

• user login (using implicit or authorization code flow, including support for redirect to http://localhost and urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob for desktop applications)
  • instead of a password, you can enter the roles of the user
• client credentials authentication
• resource owner password credentials authentication (both for public and confidential clients)

Note that as this is a mock, all flows are allowed for any client. For simplicity all successful calls to the token endpoint return the same response including a refresh token, even for flows which should not contain it according to the specifications.

Developing / testing frontends

It is also possible to run the mock server as a stand-alone application. Just get the ( self-contained) standalone artifact, e.g. from Maven Central, and run it:

$ java -jar standalone.jar &
[main] INFO com.tngtech.keycloakmock.standalone.Main - Server is running on http://localhost:8000

The stand-alone server can be configured using command line parameters. You can call it with --help to get a list of all options.

You can even use it as a replacement in end-to-end tests, as the server is e.g. compatible with cypress-keycloak. Have a look at the example-frontend-react project on this can be set up.
