Starting out with Cucumber and webrat and seem to be hitting a problem
with a resource protected with http basic auth.
i.e.
The following feature..
Feature: Manage Pages
In order to add a reference pages
As a administrator
I want to create a page
Scenario: Add a page
Given I am logged in
And I am on the new page page
Then I should see "New page"
When I fill in "page_title" with "Demo Page"
And I fill in "page_summary" with "A short trip to the loo"
And I fill in "page_body" with "A very long long long story"
And I press "Create"
Then I should see "Show Page: Demo Page"
with the step "Given I am logged in" defined as..
Given /^I am logged in$/ do
basic_auth('username', 'apassword')
end
All the steps work and a record is created, but the last step fails
with a "HTTP Basic: Access denied"
test.log has a
Processing PagesController#show (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-11-19 22:52:23)
[GET]
Session ID:
BAh7BiIKZmxhc2hJQzonQWN0aW9uQ29udHJvbGxlcjo6Rmxhc2g6OkZsYXNo
SGFzaHsGOgtub3RpY2UiI1BhZ2Ugd2FzIHN1Y2Nlc3NmdWxseSBjcmVhdGVk
LgY6CkB1c2VkewY7BkY=--fb242e74f0776d7728d62c6224c763ed60ad7064
Parameters: {"action"=>"show", "id"=>"1-demo-page",
"controller"=>"admin/pages"}
Filter chain halted as [:authenticate] rendered_or_redirected.
Completed in 0.00095 (1053 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.00081 (85%) | DB:
0.00000 (0%) | 401 Unauthorized [http://www.example.com/admin/pages/1-
demo-page]
The :authenticate it refers to is a pretty standard..
def authenticate
authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic("no peeping") do |
username, password|
username == 'username' && password == 'apassword'
end
end
I'm assuming it's possibly an implementation problem with webrat?!?!
Given that the steps to fill out the form and press the create button
work fine (HTTP_AUTHORIZATION is passed in the heads for each action),
but sadly not for the redirect that follows the creation of a record.
Any ideas how I should proceed?
with thanks
Kevin
