As described in answer of How to use an authenticated user in a Symfony2 functional test? there is a simple solution with Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User.
But I have different User class (some necessary additional fields) and I want to authenticate user with it.
How can I setup providders for it?
This is a tricky issue discussed here: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/5228 Though it is 2.1, it still happen to me using 2.2.
Here is how I do the test authentication:
// Create a new client to browse the application
$client = static::createClient();
$client->getCookieJar()->set(new Cookie(session_name(), true));
// dummy call to bypass the hasPreviousSession check
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/');
$em = $client->getContainer()->get('doctrine')->getEntityManager();
$user = $em->getRepository('MyOwnBundle:User')->findOneByUsername('username');
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, $user->getPassword(), 'main_firewall', $user->getRoles());
self::$kernel->getContainer()->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
$session = $client->getContainer()->get('session');
$session->set('_security_' . 'main_firewall', serialize($token));
$session->save();
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/login/required/page/');
$this->assertTrue(200 === $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
// perform tests in the /login/required/page here..
Oh, and the use statements:
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Client;
use Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Cookie;
are u using a form login ? or http security?
when using the form login what i do in my tests is i just simulate a user logging in via the login form ...
/**
* test of superuser ingelogd geraakt
*/
public function testSuperAdminLogin()
{
$crawler = $this->client->request('GET', '/login');
$form = $crawler->selectButton('Sign In')->form();
$user = $this->em->getRepository('NonoAcademyBundle:User')
->findOneByUsername('superadmin');
$crawler = $this->client
->submit($form,
array('_username' => $user->getUsername(),
'_password' => $user->getPassword()));
$this->assertTrue($this->client->getResponse()->isSuccessful());
$this
->assertRegExp('/\/admin\/notifications/',
$this->client->getResponse()->getContent());
}
then just use that client and crawler, as they will act as the logged in user. Hope this helps you
You might also find these helpful especially if you are using a form login
private function doLogin()
{
$this->client = static::createClient();
$username = 'your-username';
$password = 'your-password';
$crawler = $this->client->request('GET', '/login');
$form = $crawler->filter('your-submit-button-classname')->form();
$crawler = $this->client
->submit($form,
array(
'_username' => $username,
'_password' => $password,
)
);
}
I found a solution.
First we have to create new user provider: FakeUserProvider as described here.
It should implement UserProviderInterface.
Its loadUserByUsername should create necessary user object.
