How can I test token based user authentication with Symfony>=5.3?

In my controllers, I check if a request is fully authenticated against the built-in token_storage - provider by Symfony (version 5.3), as depicted here:

$uid = $this->tokenStorage->getToken()->getUser()->getId();

However, when I try to get the tokenStorage - service in the setUp() - initializer of my WebTest like this:

$this->tokenStorage = static::$kernel->getContainer()->get('security.token_storage');

I get this notice when executing my unit tests:

Since symfony/security-bundle 5.3: Accessing the "security.token_storage" service directly from the container is deprecated, use dependency injection instead.

This seems like a catch 22 - situation, since the suggested dependency injection does not seem to work for unit tests.

Therefore, I get this error when trying to inject the TokenStorageInterface to my WebTest´s - constructor:

Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function App\Tests\ConnectorTest::__construct(), 0 passed in /var/www/html/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Framework/TestBuilder.php on line 138 and exactly 1 expected in /var/www/html/tests/ConnectorTest.php

The KernelTestCase and WebTestCase provide a specialized test container you can use to retrieve services you want to test, that are usually not directly available from the container.

Just use the getContainer-method provided on the TestCase, rather than from the kernel:

static::getContainer()->get(…)

In this container all services are made public and accessible without throwing a deprecation warning.

If this does not suit you, you can also modify your container for the test environment, e.g. by making services public in a separate services_test.yaml file.
