The only reason is, that singleFile provided can have support just for some subset of usersExportStrategy options (REALM_FILE and SKIP). The others doesn't makes sense for singleFile provider as it always uses same file.

Originally the singleFile export/import provider was intended to be used just for small environments with small number of users, where you just quickly export everything into single file and you are good.
For environments with big number of users where more flexibility is needed, you would use either dir provider or zip provider (which was later removed because nobody was using it and it required additional 3rd party dependency). So the support for usersExportStrategy and also for "pagination" (limiting number of users in each transaction) was added just to those providers.

Feel free to create JIRA for support usersExportStrategy and pagination for singleFile provider.

Until we have it, you can use dir provider. Or is it something which blocks you from using dir provider?

The usersExportStrategy as stated in the docs is only used by the dir provider, hence why it's hard-coded in the single file export provider. I can't see why it couldn't be supported though.

Marek - is there any good reason why singlefileexport could support skipping users?

Hi devs,

I've been working with some realm configurations and today I wanted to export all my work to a file so I tried to follow this:

http://keycloak.github.io/docs/userguide/keycloak-server/html/export-import.html

After some failed attempts due to my custom federator, I've decided to SKIP users from the export using the SKIP property as described in the documentation but it didn't work at all, so I've checked the code that is performing the export action and found that the usersExportStrategy is not being taken from the configuration but it is just set to TRUE instead.

Look at the lines 65 and 83 in this file:

https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/master/services/src/main/java/org/keycloak/exportimport/singlefile/SingleFileExportProvider.java

For now, I've just modified the code locally to get the configuration correctly from the property I am passing at startup (like MultipleStepsExportProvider.java is doing), but I would like to contribute with a PR if necessary.

Is there any reason to not do this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Fabricio
