Hi,

I'm developing a KeyCloak extension which is packaged as two JBoss modules:

- the extension proper (custom authenticator + custom realm resource + custom admin theme);

- modified org.keycloak.keycloak-model-jpa (since Entity SPI is not yet available).

Each time I make changes, I have to go through a roundabout of stopping KeyCloak, deploying modules and starting KeyCloak again. This can happen as many as several dozen times a day; as soon as I roll a CI infrastructure, the build server will have to do the same. Needless to say, the process is pretty time-consuming; additionally, I'll have to grant permissions to the build server to restart a system service (KeyCloak is deployed as systemd unit). I've tried the following in jboss-cli:

[disconnected /] connect

[standalone@localhost:9990 /] module remove --name=foo.bar.main

[standalone@localhost:9990 /] module add --name=foo.bar.main --resources=... --dependencies=...

[standalone@localhost:9990 /] reload

This doesn't help, despite WildFly reports to have redeployed and restarted KeyCloak. The updated modules are simply not picked up.

Am I missing something? KeyCloak developers, what would you recommend to speed-up the workflow?

Cheers,

Mitya
