mocking in junit

[denov]

how do i mock this?

public static UserDetails getUserFromSecurityContext() {
        return (UserDetails) SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
}

i thought it would but it doesn't

GrantedAuthority[] ga = new GrantedAuthority[] {new GrantedAuthorityImpl("ROLE_ADS_ADMIN")};
TestingAuthenticationToken token = new TestingAuthenticationToken("admin", "password", ga);
token.setAuthenticated(true);        
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(token);

i'm doing auth'ing against an ldap server.

having a chapter in the docs on testing would be nice.


thx

Hmm that should basically work, although you might want to pass a valid UserDetails object instead of "admin".

Giving a bit more information might also be helpful.

after a couple hours of reading java docs and playing around i figured it out. i need to user an LdapUserDetail since my code that testing calls getUsername() which isn't in all the other implementations of UserDetails.

        
LdapUserDetailsImpl.Essence ud = new LdapUserDetailsImpl.Essence();
ud.setDn("admin");
ud.setUsername("admin");
ud.setPassword("password");
ud.setAuthorities(new GrantedAuthority[] {new GrantedAuthorityImpl("ROLE_ADS_ADMIN")});
TestingAuthenticationToken token = new TestingAuthenticationToken(ud.createUserDetails(),"password");
token.setAuthenticated(true);
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(token);

getUsername() is part of the UserDetails interface, so it has to be in all the implementations...
