# Unit Testing Security and Authorization

## Overview

This skill provides patterns for unit testing Spring Security authorization logic using `@PreAuthorize`, `@Secured`, `@RolesAllowed`, and custom permission evaluators. It covers testing role-based access control (RBAC), expression-based authorization, custom permission evaluators, and verifying access denied scenarios without full Spring Security context.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:
- Testing `@PreAuthorize` and `@Secured` method-level security
- Testing role-based access control (RBAC)
- Testing custom permission evaluators
- Verifying access denied scenarios
- Testing authorization with authenticated principals
- Want fast authorization tests without full Spring Security context

## Instructions

Follow these steps to test Spring Security authorization:

### 1. Set Up Security Testing Dependencies
Add spring-security-test to your test dependencies:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
```

### 2. Enable Method Security in Test Configuration
```java
@Configuration
@EnableMethodSecurity
class TestSecurityConfig { }
```

### 3. Test with `@WithMockUser`
```java
@Test
@WithMockUser(roles = "ADMIN")
void shouldAllowAdminAccess() {
  assertThatCode(() -> service.deleteUser(1L))
    .doesNotThrowAnyException();
}

@Test
@WithMockUser(roles = "USER")
void shouldDenyUserAccess() {
  assertThatThrownBy(() -> service.deleteUser(1L))
    .isInstanceOf(AccessDeniedException.class);
}
```

### 4. Test Custom Permission Evaluators
```java
@Test
void shouldGrantPermissionToOwner() {
  Authentication auth = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
    "alice", null, List.of(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_USER"))
  );
  Document doc = new Document(1L, "Test", new User("alice"));

  boolean result = evaluator.hasPermission(auth, doc, "WRITE");
  assertThat(result).isTrue();
}
```

### 5. Validate Security is Active
If tests pass unexpectedly, add this assertion to verify security is enforced:
```java
@Test
void shouldRejectUnauthorizedWhenSecurityEnabled() {
  assertThatThrownBy(() -> service.deleteUser(1L))
    .isInstanceOf(AccessDeniedException.class);
}
```

## Quick Reference

| Annotation | Description | Example |
|------------|-------------|---------|
| `@PreAuthorize` | Pre-invocation authorization | `@PreAuthorize("hasRole('ADMIN')")` |
| `@PostAuthorize` | Post-invocation authorization | `@PostAuthorize("returnObject.owner == authentication.name")` |
| `@Secured` | Simple role-based security | `@Secured("ROLE_ADMIN")` |
| `@RolesAllowed` | JSR-250 standard | `@RolesAllowed({"ADMIN", "MANAGER"})` |
| `@WithMockUser` | Test annotation | `@WithMockUser(roles = "ADMIN")` |

## Examples

### Basic `@PreAuthorize` Test

```java
@Service
public class UserService {
  @PreAuthorize("hasRole('ADMIN')")
  public void deleteUser(Long userId) {
    // delete logic
  }
}

// Test
@Test
@WithMockUser(roles = "ADMIN")
void shouldAllowAdminToDeleteUser() {
  assertThatCode(() -> service.deleteUser(1L))
    .doesNotThrowAnyException();
}

@Test
@WithMockUser(roles = "USER")
void shouldDenyUserFromDeletingUser() {
  assertThatThrownBy(() -> service.deleteUser(1L))
    .isInstanceOf(AccessDeniedException.class);
}
```

### Expression-Based Security Test

```java
@PreAuthorize("#userId == authentication.principal.id")
public UserProfile getUserProfile(Long userId) {
  // get profile
}

// For custom principal properties, use @WithUserDetails with a custom UserDetailsService
@Test
@WithUserDetails("alice")
void shouldAllowUserToAccessOwnProfile() {
  assertThatCode(() -> service.getUserProfile(1L))
    .doesNotThrowAnyException();
}
```

> **Validation tip**: If a security test passes unexpectedly, verify that `@EnableMethodSecurity` is active on the test configuration — a missing annotation causes all `@PreAuthorize` checks to be bypassed silently.

See [references/basic-testing.md](references/basic-testing.md) for more basic patterns and [references/advanced-authorization.md](references/advanced-authorization.md) for complex expressions and custom evaluators.

## Best Practices

1. **Use `@WithMockUser`** for setting authenticated user context
2. **Test both allow and deny cases** for each security rule
3. **Test with different roles** to verify role-based decisions
4. **Test expression-based security** comprehensively
5. **Mock external dependencies** (permission evaluators, etc.)
6. **Test anonymous access separately** from authenticated access
7. **Use `@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity`** in configuration for method-level security

## Common Pitfalls

- Forgetting to enable method security in test configuration
- Not testing both allow and deny scenarios
- Testing framework code instead of authorization logic
- Not handling null authentication in tests
- Mixing authentication and authorization tests unnecessarily

## Constraints and Warnings

- **Method security requires proxy**: `@PreAuthorize` works via proxies; direct method calls bypass security
- **`@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity`**: Must be enabled for `@PreAuthorize`, `@Secured` to work
- **Role prefix**: Spring adds "ROLE_" prefix automatically; use `hasRole('ADMIN')` not `hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')`
- **Authentication context**: Security context is thread-local; be careful with async tests
- **`@WithMockUser` limitations**: Creates a simple Authentication; complex auth scenarios need custom setup
- **SpEL expressions**: Complex SpEL in `@PreAuthorize` can be difficult to debug; test thoroughly
- **Performance impact**: Method security adds overhead; consider security at layer boundaries
