Hello everyone, I’m trying to write tests for my authenticator SPI, e.g. Terms and Conditions, for Keycloak. I’ve found the integration tests in the Keycloak GitHub repository, but I prefer unit testing for better coverage. Is there any documentation or sample code for unit testing of an SPI?

You can do it with some mocks (e.g. mockito).
