[keycloak-user] bootstrapping of keycloak for integration testing

Wed Apr 23 06:43:56 EDT 2014

Another question regarding keycloak artifacts in maven, shouldn't
"keycloak-wildfly-adapter-dist" also be available? At least this would make
it much easier to create a maven configuration that bootstraps a Wildfly
instance with the keycloak adapter.

I've looked at the integration test suite and find the approach quite nice.
However, in order to re-use it I would currently have to duplicate most of
the code (KeycloakServer, AbstractKeycloakRule etc.) since it is in the
test directory of the keycloak-testsuite-integration module.

So I thought I'd do the following:

* create an integration-test module
* bootstrap Wildfly with the wildfly adapter installed with the
maven-dependency-plugin and maven-resources-plugin (currently struggling
with the missing artifacts in the repo here so I installed it locally for
now...)
* deploy the auth-server.war/ keycloak-server.war and the archives I want
to test in an arquillian test case (@Deploy...)

That's where I'm at right now. I guess the next step would be to get the
KeycloakSessionFactory in order to add a test realm programmatically.

However, I just realized that it might be better (and easier) to just
bootstrap an embedded Keycloak instance (no server, just the core services)
and use it to create a test realm and create tokens that can be used in the
test cases. After all, I just need a way to generate bearer tokens to make
HTTP requests to the wars I would like to test. Any thoughts on how I could
best accomplish that?

Cheers,
Nils
