How to Run and Test
- Run the following commands to set environment variables for AI model API keys
- ```bash

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Optional
export GOOGLE_GENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Optional
- ```bash
cd oauth2-authorization-server
# Run tests on the host (requires Docker for Testcontainers)
mvn clean verify
# Build and start the application together with all infrastructure services
docker compose --profile start_application up -d --build
# Start only infrastructure services (Redis, MariaDB, LDAP, Ollama, etc.)
docker compose up -d
# For local development without Docker (requires infrastructure services running via docker compose up -d)

Debugging Spring Boot Tests in IntelliJ IDEA
1. Run one of the below commands in the terminal
mvn test -Dmaven.surefire.debug- If port 5005 is already in use, you can specify a custom port
mvn test -Dmaven.surefire.debug="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8000"
2. Open IntelliJ IDEA
3. Go to Run > Attach to Process (or use shortcut)
- Windows/Linux:
Ctrl + Alt + 5 - Mac:
Cmd + Alt + 5
4. Select the Java process running your tests
5. The test will pause until you connect your debugger. Once connected, you can use breakpoints and step through your
code.

- Run
open ./target/oauth2-authorization-server-build-report.htmlto see build report - Use Swagger UI to test the application
Spring Boot with CRaC(Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) by Creating Ready to Restore Container Image.
- Warning: for real projects make sure to not leak sensitive data in CRaC files since they contain a snapshot of the
memory of the running JVM instance.
- Checkpoint
- Run
on demand checkpoint/restore of a running application
with: ./docs/scripts/checkpoint.sh
- Run
an automatic checkpoint/restore at startup
with: ./docs/scripts/checkpointOnRefresh.sh
- Restore
- Restore the application with:
./docs/scripts/restore.sh - Use Swagger UI to test the application

- Run
mvn testormvn clean installormvn clean packageor./mvnw clean installcommand to run all the tests - Run
mvn spring-boot:runcommand to run the application - Use Swagger UI to test the application
Dependency Version Management
Dependency versions are managed via
the Maven Versions Plugin and a version-rules.xml filter
that excludes alpha/beta/RC/SNAPSHOT releases.
Local — using the helper script:
./docs/scripts/update-versions.sh check # Show all outdated versions (parent + props + deps + plugins)
./docs/scripts/update-versions.sh update # Auto-update everything and review with: git diff pom.xml
./docs/scripts/update-versions.sh update-props # Update only versions (safest)
./docs/scripts/update-versions.sh update-parent # Update only spring-boot-starter-parent
./docs/scripts/update-versions.sh revert # Revert pom.xml from backupCI/CD — automated PR creation:
The MB Dependency Version Update workflow runs every Monday (and on-demand),
checks for updates, verifies the build compiles, and creates a PR automatically.
