I want to test login function if it works propperly and only lets valid and active users in.
My user fixture contains:
array(
'password' => '*emptyPasswordHash*', // empty password
'username' => 'Lorem',
'balance' => 0,
'currency' => 'USD',
'id' => 1,
'user_group_id' => 3, //Customer
'active' => 1,
'hash' => 'LoremHash'
),
My test function looks like this:
function testLogin() {
//test valid login
$result = $this->testAction('/users/login', array(
'data' => array(
'User' => array(
'username' => 'Lorem',
'pass' => '',
'remember' => true
)),
'method' => 'post',
'return' => 'view'
));
debug($result);
}
The login form has 3 inputs: username
, password
and remember
I have set $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
in the UsersController::beforeFilter
and I am doing some cookie setting stuff
when I debug($this->data);
in UsersController::login()
it shows the exact same data when testing and when logging normaly. But while testing the login fails and I get $this->Auth->loginError
message instead of a login.
How do I test login action propperly?
To start debugging: In the Visual Studio editor, set a breakpoint in one or more test methods that you want to debug. Because test methods can run in any order, set breakpoints in all the test methods that you want to debug. In Test Explorer, select the test method(s) and then choose Debug on the right-click menu.
if you use cakes Auth component and dont hack it up you dont need to...

and if you really want to, look at how the pro's do it :)
