I appreciate that, but not sure I want to advocate this approach by
dropping the jars into Maven. Atm we don't include anything from testsuite
and that's intentional as we don't expect them to be used by anyone.

I agree that it’s not necessarily Ideal, but I have found that
there’s the
advantage that the tests to be written for extensions (at least ours) can
often be inspired from existing tests of similar features, and having some
of the same classes available simplifies the process. This is not perfect,
as sometimes this requires figuring out what’s going on in the testsuite
code, and also some functional code is in the test section, and thus not
available in the artifacts.
For updating its not really a problem however (I hope). It’s something
that often has to be done anyway for extensions when keycloak changes
version, though it may cause some extra work to account for the refactoring
of the testsuite classes as well.
On balance, at least for now, I feel that reusing existing testsuite code
lessens the development burden of the tests for extensions, which is why we
went with this solution.

Thanks for the explanation.
I'm not sure if it makes all that much sense to publish the artifacts as
they are as it is all very much setup to support testing of Keycloak itself
and as such contains a lot of complexity. You'll quite likely also often
have to update it as we refactor/change our tests.
Would be nice to have a simple way to test extensions with Arquillian
though.

Re-reading my mail, I feel that I may not have been very clear, sorry.
So: For the cloudtrust project (on github:
https://github.com/cloudtrust),
we have developed or furthered a certain number of extensions (modules) for
keycloak (I wrote a mail on this mailing list about them a few months back,
and was asked to list them here:
https://www.keycloak.org/extensions.html),
for example an extension to allow keycloak to use ws-fed or to do a full
export while running. We will also soon need to develop some new modules.
We originally wrote those extensions for keycloak 3.4.3.Final, but we are
currently updating them to the latest version of keycloak, and as part of
the process, we are moving the unit tests from a mock-based system to
arquillian, so that they are more meaningful. To simplify the task, and
since the code is already there, we are using existing classes from the
keycloak testsuite.
We are currently only using classes from
integration-arquillian-tests-base, for example the classes LoginPage and
OAuthClient. For our current use I don’t actually expect to use classes
from any other artifact, though since we are at the start of the process, I
may be wrong about that. We are also using the pom from
integration-arquillian-tests as a parent for our maven project for now, as
a convenience. This will probably have to be changed in the future.
And basically, though currently we are building keycloak to deploy the
testsuite artifacts to our local artifactory to use them, I was wondering
if they are already available on a public maven repository, or if they
could be, like the other keycloak artifacts are.

Can you add a bit more details please? What modules and how are you using
them?

Hello,
Are the keycloak testsuite artifacts pushed to a public repository? Or if
not, would it be possible to publish them alongside the other keycloak
artifacts?
We are currently updating the cloudtrust keycloak modules to the latest
version of keycloak, and as a part of that we are moving the tests from
mocks to arquillian. Since there's a lot of great work already done, we
reuse the keycloak testsuite artifacts for this. For our purposes this is
fine (we have them cached in our local repository), but for anybody who
wishes to build our modules from github it's a bit more cumbersome. On a
more general level, it would probably also help other module developers who
wish to unit test with arquillian.
Best regards,
Alistair
