I have all my controllers using the before_filter :login_required authentication. How do I have my tests login? I''ve tried every combination of process :login, blah but can''t get blah right. Do I have to do the login in each test_*, or just in the setup. As an example, I have a customers_controller_test that is supposed to create 10 customers. The test fails because it is being redirected to account/login. Thanks in advance! Regards, JJ
I store the current user_id in the session to show the currently logged in user. To simulate this in a test, just use: @request.session[''user''] = 3 On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 14:01:58 -0500, John Johnson <johnatl-ee4meeAH724@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I have all my controllers using the before_filter :login_required > authentication. > How do I have my tests login?

Supposably there are better solutions, but I did it by bypassing the
login procedure:
@request.session["user"] = User.authenticate("user",
"user_pass") # or simply
@request.session["user"] = User.find_by_login "user"
Writes the user directly into the session, like a login-controller
does it. So the user is logged in and the tests can proceed...
