Using GCP Secret Manager in integration tests in Java

I have a pretty big code base written in Java. I have a lot of integration tests with both Kafka and Bigtable using JUnits ExternalResource. I have introduced fetching of secrets from GCP Secret Manager in my code. I now want to write integration tests for that as well.

So my scenario is that I want to create a mock username/password, create a secret of that username/password in my mock GCP Secret Manager, access the secrets and then use it to connect to my mock-service that requires that username/password. So, in reality, I'm connecting to a Kafka broker in my test with SSL and I want to simulate the entire flow with fetching of secrets.

The problem is, I can't find any documentation on how to do it. Google has great other documentation on how to emulate Bigtable, but I can't find any documentation on how to emulate/mock a Secret Manager. Has anyone ran into something similar?
