How to test the permissions ?
January 12, 2011, 01:47:27 am
Hi,

Wanted to confirm there isn't a way now in the unit to switch users and verify that the permissions are properly applied (eg. dude that doesn't have permission X can't do Y and get a proper error msg).

Would it be possible to add easily?

No good way in unit tests at the moment. It's being done in webtests, but that's not that useful for API I guess. Last time I checked (and implemented dummy UF which returns true for permission requests), the problem was having no session when unit tests are run - maybe we should plan for coming back to it and trying to implement some kind of a mock session.

Thx,
