Unit Testing for OAuth Integrations
Unit testing is essential for ensuring the reliability and correctness of the individual components within your Mubarokah ID OAuth 2.0 client integration. By isolating and testing specific functions or classes, you can catch bugs early and refactor with confidence.What to Unit Test?
Focus on testing the logic within your application that handles:- OAuth Service/Client:
- Correct generation of authorization URLs (including
state,scope, PKCE parameters). - Proper construction of requests to the token endpoint for various grant types.
- Parsing and validation of responses from Mubarokah ID (token response, user info response).
- Token refresh logic.
- Correct generation of authorization URLs (including
- Callback Handler:
stateparameter validation.- Error handling from the callback (e.g.,
erroranderror_descriptionparameters). - Interaction with the OAuth service to exchange the code for tokens.
- User provisioning or lookup in your local database.
- Session creation.
- Token Management:
- Secure storage and retrieval of tokens (mocking the actual storage mechanism).
- Encryption/decryption logic if you’re encrypting tokens.
- Token expiry checks.
- API Client for Mubarokah ID Resources:
- Correct attachment of access tokens to outgoing requests.
- Handling of API error responses (e.g., 401, 403).
Mocking Dependencies
A key aspect of unit testing OAuth integrations is mocking external dependencies, particularly the HTTP client used to communicate with Mubarokah ID’s servers. You don’t want your unit tests to make actual network calls.- HTTP Client Mocks: Most testing frameworks or HTTP client libraries provide ways to mock requests and responses.
- JavaScript (Jest):
jest.mock('axios')orjest.fn()for fetch. - Python (unittest.mock):
@patchdecorator orMagicMock. - PHP (PHPUnit): Mocking Guzzle clients or using mock handlers.
- JavaScript (Jest):
- Session Mocks: Mock session objects to test
statestorage and retrieval. - Database/Cache Mocks: Mock database interactions (for user lookup/creation) and cache operations (for token storage).
Example Unit Tests (Conceptual TypeScript/Jest)
These examples illustrate how you might unit test parts of anMubarokahOAuthService similar to the one in the framework integration guides.
Best Practices for Unit Testing OAuth Logic
- Test Edge Cases: Cover scenarios like invalid inputs, error responses from the server, expired tokens, and state mismatches.
- Keep Tests Independent: Each unit test should be able to run independently and not rely on the state of other tests.
- Focus on Logic, Not External Services: Unit tests should verify your code’s logic, not the correctness of Mubarokah ID’s servers.
- Clear Naming: Name your tests clearly to indicate what they are testing.
- Refactor with Tests: Write tests before or during development/refactoring to ensure changes don’t break existing functionality.
