Has anyone successfully run the unit and functional tests that are
pre-generated with the ‘acts as authenticated’ plugin ?
I’m having huge amounts of problems and it’s not helped by the fact that
I’m a n00b to Rails and can’t tell if I’ve made some fundamental error
setting things up.
Sequence of events was
- Generate users scaffold
- Generate authenticate controller using plugin
- alter application.rb so that almost everything requires a logon
- Run rake
I quickly discovered that there was no way that
‘test_should_not_rehash_password’ would run successfully in the unit
tests, so I abandoned that (commented it out).
On a re-run I found so many errors in other parts of of the app (it’s a
team project) that I had to run just the ‘users’ functional test on its
own.
Virtually every test failed.
I thought my mods to application.rb might be the root of the problem,
but commenting them out got me no further, and replicating that
functionality within the ‘setup’ method of the functional test didn’t
help either. I also took a few guesses at things that might be missing
from the artificial test environment (I used a few includes in other
words) but again no luck.
I think there is probably something simple I’m missing that will make
these tests run out of the box, but I’m at a loss to know what it is.
Can anyone help ?
Cheers, Andy
Can you post up some of the actual errors you got? They will help
track the issue down…
Okay … here goes … I know that the redirects are happening because
of my changes to application.rb , but I don’t know how to modify the
test or test environment to replicate a logged on user.

By putting those lines in your controller, all your actions will
require a login for the tests. The generator generates a test helper
for this purpose in lib/authenticated_test_helper.rb:
http://techno-weenie.net/svn/projects/plugins/acts_as_authenticated/generators/authenticated/templates/authenticated_test_helper.rb
Be sure to include the helper in test/test_helper.rb
class Test::Unit::TestCase
include AuthenticatedTestHelper
self.use_transactional_fixtures = true
self.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
Now in your test:
login_as :bob # loads users(:bob) into the session
I apologize, I thought for sure I had better docs with this thing.
I’ll be sure to clarify this part. Do let me know if there are other
issues I missed

Thanks for that… looks like just what I need.
Busy with something else right now, but I’ll be giving that a shot soon.

Yep, that DOES seem to have solved most of the problems. One or two
remain, though. Theres this one from the functional tests (with
associated code) …
- Failure:
test_create(UsersControllerTest)
[test/functional/users_controller_test.rb:101]:
Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was <200>
def test_create
login_as(:quentin)
num_users = User.count
post :create, :user => {}
assert_response :redirect
assert_redirected_to :action => 'list'
assert_equal num_users + 1, User.count
end
I’m wondering if the test is correct in this case … it looks as though
the test is creating an ‘null’ user (no name etc) and (I guess) the
create action is rendering the form with an error message.
Any thoughts ?

Yup, I copied that from the scaffolding generator. Obviously the
scaffolding generator has no clue how your models work. Perhaps I
could the required login feilds by default though for
acts_as_authenticated. Good catch. I’m used to filling those fields
manually
In your case, just make the tweak yourself. No sense on waiting for
me to fix it so you can overwrite any changes you made.
