Testing with Quart-Auth

Quart-Auth adds an authenticated method to the test client that can be used as a context manager ensuring that there is an authenticated user within. For example,

from quart_auth import authenticated_client

async def test_private_route():
     test_client = app.test_client()
     auth_id = "2"
     async with authenticated_client(test_client, auth_id):
         response = await test_client.get("/private")
         assert response.status_code == 200

This method is only usable in the cookie-mode. When using the bearer-mode the authentication token must be added manually to the request. There is a generate_auth_token function available to make this easier,

from quart_auth import generate_auth_token

async def test_private_route():
     test_client = app.test_client()
     auth_id = "2"
     token = generate_auth_token(test_client, auth_id)
     response = await test_client.get("/private", headers={"Authorization": f"bearer {token}"})
     assert response.status_code == 200
