Setting Up MockMvc and Spring Security

In order to use Spring Security with Spring MVC Test it is necessary to add the Spring Security FilterChainProxy as a Filter. It is also necessary to add Spring Security’s TestSecurityContextHolderPostProcessor to support Running as a User in Spring MVC Test with Annotations. This can be done using Spring Security’s SecurityMockMvcConfigurers.springSecurity(). For example:spring-doc.cn

Spring Security’s testing support requires spring-test-4.1.3.RELEASE or greater.

    @Autowired
    private lateinit var context: WebApplicationContext

    private var mvc: MockMvc? = null

    @BeforeEach
    fun setup() {
        mvc = MockMvcBuilders
            .webAppContextSetup(context)
            .apply<DefaultMockMvcBuilder>(springSecurity()) (1)
            .build()
    }
// ...
