I have been trying to figure this out for a day now. I have tried disabling the SecurityConfiguration class in my test class, but that led to an error with the ObjectPostProcessor bean type. Apologies for the code dump, but I'm unsure how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

the url you are testing seems to be wrong consider append api/v1/role to it — Sherif Abdelkhaliq, Mar 26 '20 at 10:12
Your security config does't make sense, you don't have security as you permit everything. Add `@WithAnonymousUser` to your test class or method, and make sure you have `spring-security-test` in your list of dependencies. — M. Deinum, Mar 26 '20 at 10:27
Yes, the permitting everything is just to test and see whether the issue may be security related. — angelaM, Mar 26 '20 at 10:35
I added the dependency as well as the annotation and it didn't work — angelaM, Mar 26 '20 at 10:42

The URL of the resource you are trying to test in method addRole_thenReturnsRole_andStatus200() seems to be wrong.

Please try to change it to api/v1/role/addRole instead of only /addRole.

You could also consider trying first with tools like Postman, or Soap UI.

I've tested with Postman and it's fine. It's just the unit tests that are giving me a headache. I also just tried changing the url and it didn't work either – angelaM Mar 26 '20 at 10:33
401 status code means that the request sent by the client could not be authenticated. try disabling the current URL being authenticated and check and give the new result put this in configure method web.ignoring().antMatchers("api/v1/role/addRole"); – Sherif Abdelkhaliq Mar 26 '20 at 10:39
