FOSUserBundle Unit testing - symfony

Question

I am working on setting up a site with fosUserBundle. I need to write some unit tests, but I cannot seems to get authentication to work correctly for use with them. I have have tried a few methods with no luck.
approach1 - chain providers in security settings to make a standard login I can rely on. When I do this the only authentication that works is the in_memory provider meaning I can login in with the admin user but not any users created by fosUserBundle
security.yml
security:
encoders:
"FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface": plaintext
"Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User": plaintext
providers:
chain_provider:
providers: [in_memory, fos_userbundle]
in_memory:
users:
admin: { password: admin, roles: [ 'ROLE_ADMIN' ] }
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_manager
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
login_path: /
csrf_provider: form.csrf_provider
default_target_path: /media
logout: true
anonymous: true
http_basic:
provider: in_memory
Method 2- I created a user in my setup of the unit test. But with this method I can never login with the user I just created, I am not requiring user confirmation.
public function setUp() {
$kernel = static::createKernel();
$this->repo = $kernel->boot();
$this->repo = $kernel->getContainer();
$userManager = $this->repo->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$email = "testing".(string) self::newRandomNumber()."#test.com";
$un = "test".(string) self::newRandomNumber();
$fn = "testin";
$ln = "laster";
$pwd = "passworD1";
$user = $userManager->createUser();
$user->setEmail($email);
$user->setUsername($un);
$user->setFirstName($fn);
$user->setLastName($ln);
$user->setPlainPassword($pwd);
$user->setBimStaff(True);
// Persist the user to the database
$userManager->updateUser($user);
$this->user = $user;
$this->client = static::createClient();
$crawler = $this->client->request('GET', '/');
$form = $crawler->selectButton('Login')->form();
// set some values
$un = 'Lucas'.self::newRandomNumber();
$form['_username'] = $un;
$form['_password'] = $pwd;
// submit the form
$crawler = $this->client->submit($form);
print_r($this->client->getResponse());
$this->client->followRedirects();
}
I have tried both login in at the form and http basic authentication but neither seem to work.
Any one have any advice?
Thanks,
Cory

Answer 1

Hmm, It seems that if you chain providers in the security you cannot use just one of the providers, at least that solved the issue for me.
// security.yml
providers:
chain_provider:
providers: [in_memory, fos_userbundle]
in_memory:
users:
admin: { password: admin, roles: [ 'ROLE_ADMIN' ] }
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_manager
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
form_login:
provider: chain_provider
login_path: /
csrf_provider: form.csrf_provider
default_target_path: /media
logout: true
anonymous: true
http_basic:
provider: chain_provider
FOr some reason as soon as I changed both providers to chain_provider it started cooperating.
My unit test now looks like this
public function setUp() {
$kernel = static::createKernel();
$this->repo = $kernel->boot();
$this->repo = $kernel->getContainer();
$this->client = static::createClient(array(), array(
'PHP_AUTH_USER' => 'admin',
'PHP_AUTH_PW' => 'admin',
));
$this->client->followRedirects();
}
If copying this I would suggest using stronger passwords for your users :)

I had the same problem but I wanted option 2 to work. Your example was almost there and helped me. I think the reason it wasn't working for you is that the user wasn't enabled. The user constructor in FOSUserBundle will create disabled users by default, so you must call $user->setEnable(true)
Here's my working example
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase;
use Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Cookie;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken;
class MyControllerTest extends WebTestCase
{
private $client = null;
public function setUp()
{
$this->client = static::createClient();
}
private function logIn()
{
$session = $this->client->getContainer()->get('session');
$userManager = $this->client->getContainer()->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$user=$userManager->findUserByUsername('tester');
if (!$user) {
$user = $userManager->createUser();
$user->setEmail('test#example.com');
$user->setUsername('tester');
$user->setPlainPassword('foo');
$user->setEnabled(true);
$user->addRole('ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN');
$userManager->updateUser($user);
}
$firewall = 'main_firewall';
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, $firewall, array('ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN'));
$session->set('_security_'.$firewall, serialize($token));
$session->save();
$cookie = new Cookie($session->getName(), $session->getId());
$this->client->getCookieJar()->set($cookie);
}
public function testCompleteScenario()
{
$this->logIn();
$crawler = $this->client->request('GET', '/foo/');
$this->assertEquals(200, $this->client->getResponse()->getStatusCode(),
"Unexpected HTTP status code for GET /foo/".$this->client->getResponse()->getContent());
}
}
