Title Body

I am using the Google App Engine testbed framework to write test cases with mock objects. This is documented here . I've got my datastore tests working nicely using the mock database ( Testbed.init_datastore_v3_stub ), and this lets my test cases run over a fast, fresh database which is re-initialised for each test case. Now I want to test functionality that depends on the current user. There is another testbed service called Testbed.init_user_stub , which I can activate to get the "fake" user service. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any documentation for this one. I am activating and using it like this: import unittest from google.appengine.ext import testbed from google.appengine.api import users class MyTest(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): self.testbed = testbed.Testbed() self.testbed.activate() self.testbed.init_user_stub() def testUser(self): u = users.get_current_user() self.assertNotEqual(u, None) The problem is that I haven't found any way to tell the "fake" user service to authenticate a "fake" user. So running that test, I (predictably) get AssertionError: None == None meaning the fake user service is telling my app that the current user is not logged in. How can I tell the fake user service to pretend that a user is logged in? Ideally, I'd like to be able to specify the fake user's nickname, email, user_id and whether or not they are an admin. It seems like this would be quite a common thing to want (since you need to test how the app behaves when a) nobody is logged in, b) a user is logged in, and c) an admin is logged in), but googling "init_user_stub" returns almost nothing. Note: If you want to test the above program, you need to add this to the top:
