[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-739) Login simulation in tests with @LoginAs("username", "password") and an authenticated servlet protocol

[Geoffrey De Smet (JIRA)]

Geoffrey De Smet created ARQ-739:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Login simulation in tests with @LoginAs("username", "password") and an authenticated servlet protocol
                 Key: ARQ-739
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-739
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet


Motivation:
1) Testing the similar functionality under different logins (and therefore roles) should be easy.

2) Each in-container test is scope request.
If you inject a request or session scoped bean in the test, that requires an Identity to be injected, it will be created with a dummy Identity (username = null).
This can leave the bean in an illegal state (especially when using @PostConstruct or @Produces).

Proposal A:

{code}
    @Deployment @OverProtocol("Authenticated Servlet")
    public static WebArchive createDeployment() {...}

    @Test @LoginAs("admin", "admin")
    public void changeThemeAsAdmin() {...}

    @Test(exception = AuthenticationException.class) @LoginAs("guest", "guest")
    public void changeThemeAsGuest() {...}
{code}

Furthermore, @LoginAs should also be defaultable for all tests on the class itself:
{code}
@LoginAs("admin", "admin")
public class MyTest {
    @Deployment @OverProtocol("Authenticated Servlet")
    public static WebArchive createDeployment() {...}

    @Test
    public void changeThemeAsAdmin() {...}

    @Test
    public void changeImportAsAdmin() {...}

    ...
}
{code}
