How to force authentication when do testing?

[elcolie]

I have separated OAuth Provider and Resource Server. The token and scopes work smoothly with simple password type.

However, since the authentication_classes comes from 3rd party my ordinary force_authentication(user=user) fails.

class CustomerNewCaseIssueViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    authentication_classes = [OAuth2Authentication]
    permission_classes = [TokenHasScope]
    required_scopes = ['mp_resource']
    queryset = CaseIssue.objects.all()
    serializer_class = NewCaseIssueSerializer

    def test_new_issue(self):
        """Test user shoot open an issue to MP"""
        machine_type = mommy.make(MachineType)
        data = {
            'machine_type': machine_type.id,
            'symptom': 'High pitch noise',
        }
        factory = APIRequestFactory()
        request = factory.post('', data, format='json')

        # By pass the OAuth logic
        viewset = CustomerNewCaseIssueViewSet
        viewset.authentication_classes = ()
        viewset.permission_classes = ()
        viewset.required_scopes = ()
        view = viewset.as_view({'post': 'create'})    # Ready
        force_authenticate(request, user=self.elcolie)
        res = view(request)
        assert status.HTTP_201_CREATED == res.status_code

Do you have any APIClient for testing?
Otherwise I have to override the class attribute before as_view() get called

Thanks

Did anyone figure this out? I'm trying to run unit tests on the resource server and haven't found a way to force authentication/authorization, or use a temp local OAuth provider.

Nope. I think django-oauth-toolkit authors are the one who can provide TestAuth framework for this problem
