Integration test with confidence and basic auth with CSRF

Question

I have a working Spring Boot with AngularJs application based on https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-security-and-angular-js/

I use Basic Authentication and I would like to write an integration test for it. Currently, I always get a 403 status code with the message:

Expected CSRF token not found. Has your session expired?

This is my test:

@Test
public void givenAdmin_deleteOfBookIsAllowed() {

    Response response = given().auth().preemptive().basic("admin", "admin").get("/api/user/");
    response.then().log().all();
    String sessionId = response.sessionId();
    String token = response.cookie("XSRF-TOKEN");

    Book book = Books.randomBook();
    bookRepository.save(book);

    given()
            .sessionId(sessionId)
            .cookie("XSRF-TOKEN", token)
            .header("X-XSRF-TOKEN", token)
            .pathParam("id", book.getId().getId())
            .when().delete("/api/books/{id}")
            .then().statusCode(HttpStatus.SC_NO_CONTENT);
}

I am using a custom token repository in a tutorial:

 private CsrfTokenRepository csrfTokenRepository() {
    HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository repository = new HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository();
    repository.setHeaderName("X-XSRF-TOKEN");
    return repository;
}

This is the request / response from the first call:

Answer 1

2 GET , spring security CSRF .

• GET . JSESSIONID XSRF-TOKEN. XSRF-TOKEN to POST, , empty/false JSESSIONID.
• XSRF-TOKEN GET, JSESSIONID .
• XSRF-TOKEN POST.

auth CSRF:

//1) get sessionId
Response response =
        given().auth().preemptive().basic(userName, userPassword).contentType(JSON).
        when().get(PREFIX_URL + "/user").
        then().log().all().extract().response();
String jsessionidId =  response.getSessionId();//or response.cookie("JSESSIONID");

//2) get XSRF-TOKEN using new/real sessionId
response =
        given().
        sessionId(jsessionidId).//or cookie("JSESSIONID", jsessionidId).
        contentType(JSON).
        when().get(PREFIX_URL + "/user").
        then().log().all().extract().response();

//3) post data using XSRF-TOKEN
given().log().all().
        sessionId(jsessionidId).//or cookie("JSESSIONID", jsessionidId).
        header("X-XSRF-TOKEN", response.cookie("XSRF-TOKEN")).
        queryParam("param",paramValue)).
        body(someData).
        contentType(JSON).
when().
        post(PREFIX_URL + "/post_some_data").
then().
    log().all().assertThat().statusCode(200);
