Question

I thought I have to ask here some help to my problem. I\'ve spend whole evening with this. I have a login method in UsersController like this:

p         


        

Answer 1

I got this working with the following code:

function testLogin() {

        //mock user
        $this->Users = $this->generate( 'Users', array(
                'components' => array(
                    'Security' => array( '_validatePost' ),
                )
            ) );

        //create user data array with valid info
        $data = array();
        $data['User']['student_number'] = 1234567;
        $data['User']['password'] = '[valid password here]';

        //test login action
        $result = $this->testAction( "/users/login", array(
                "method" => "post",
                "return" => "contents",
                "data" => $data
            )
        );

        $foo[] = $this->view;
        //debug($foo);

        //test successful login
        $this->assertNotNull( $this->headers['Location'] );
        $this->assertContains( 'reservations', $this->headers['Location'] );
        $this->assertNotContains( '"/users/login" id="UserLoginForm"', $foo );

        //logout mocked user
        $this->Users->Auth->logout();
    }
