Re: CakePHP 3 Alpha 2 - Unit testing as authed, session problems

The workaround worked indeed, though left me with other problems, but that's another topic.

Opened the issue here: https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/4313

This looks like bug, could you please open a ticket in github describing the problem?

As a workaround, before calling testAction(), do this:

$articles->Auth->session = new \Cake\Network\Session();

I am trying to make tests for the blog tutorial in the cookbook. Recently I've been stuck and trying to solve my problem with testing as authed users.

Here is my test code:

    /**
     * Tests wheter you can edit article with unauthorized user.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testEditUnauthorized()
    {
        // Mock the articles controller with Auth.
        $articles = $this->generate("Articles", ["components" => ["Auth" => ["user"]]]);

        // Set the user to be logged in as one from the fixture.
        $user = ["id" => 2, "username" => "Jack", "role" => "author"];

        // Make Auth's "user" method return the user specified.
        $articles->Auth
            ->expects($this->once())
            ->method("user")
            ->with(null)
            ->willReturn($user);

        // Test the action on edit function on someone elses article.
        $this->testAction("/articles/edit/1");

        // This shouldn't go to the article edit.
        $this->assertNotEquals("/articles/edit/1", $this->headers["Location"]);

        // (Test not yet implemented fully).
        $this->markTestIncomplete('testEditUnauthorized not implemented.');
    }

So, the above test should try to edit someone else's article as 'Jack' who has role author, which should be denied. This is checked with assertNotEquals(). But running this test gives me error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function delete() on a non-object in C:\...\cakephp\src\Controller\Component\AuthComponent.php on line 660.
The code there, at the line 660 is underlined in the following:

/**
 * Similar to AuthComponent::user() except if the session user cannot be found, connected authentication
 * objects will have their getUser() methods called. This lets stateless authentication methods function correctly.
 *
 * @return bool true if a user can be found, false if one cannot.
 */
    protected function _getUser() {
        $user = $this->user();
        if ($user) {
            $this->session->delete('Auth.redirect'); // (Line 660)
            return true;
        }

        if (empty($this->_authenticateObjects)) {
            $this->constructAuthenticate();
        }
        foreach ($this->_authenticateObjects as $auth) {
            $result = $auth->getUser($this->request);
            if (!empty($result) && is_array($result)) {
                $this->_user = $result;
                return true;
            }
        }

        return false;
    }

So, it has something to do with sessions not working. I run the PHPUnit also with --stderr flag, so that is not the case. I also tried adding "Session" to the components like this:

$articles = $this->generate("Articles", ["components" => ["Auth" => ["user"], "Session"]]);

but this didn't help either and I get the same error message. Any idea what might be causing this?
