Testing

When performing HTTP testing in your applications, you will often need to ensure you are logged in to check security, or simply to access protected locations. Shield provides the AuthenticationTesting trait to help you out. Use it within the test class and then you can use the actingAs() method that takes a User instance. This user will be logged in during the test.

<?php

use CodeIgniter\Shield\Test\AuthenticationTesting;
use Tests\Support\TestCase;
use CodeIgniter\Shield\Authentication\Actions\Email2FA;

class ActionsTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseTestTrait;
    use FeatureTestTrait;
    use AuthenticationTesting;

    public function testEmail2FAShow()
    {
        $result = $this->actingAs($this->user)
           ->withSession([
               'auth_action' => Email2FA::class,
           ])->get('/auth/a/show');
    
        $result->assertStatus(200);
        // Should auto-populate in the form
        $result->assertSee($this->user->email);
    }
}
