Question

I am tryinng to run a functional test with an authenticated user on YII with selenium.
I wrote the following

protected function _login(){

    $id=new UserIdentity('admin','admin');
    $id->authenticate();
    if($id->errorCode===UserIdentity::ERROR_NONE)
    {
        Yii::app()->user->login($id);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
public function testSpot(){
    $this->assertTrue($this->_login());
    ob_end_flush();
    $this->open('production/request/create');
}

I added an ob_start() on bootstrap.php because the header were being sent twice and flushed it after the login.Still the test when access production/request/create goes to the login page, because the login is not computed even though it’s valid.

EDIT:
the ob_end_flush and ob_start is not needed if you use –stderr option on phpunit.

Answer 1

This wont work because you are only authenticating against the session that is running from the command line. You need to authenticate the web session.
