How to test AuthLogic authentication from the console?

[The Wildgoose]

Hi, how should I "load" authlogic in order that I can test
authentication from the console?


>> us=UserSession.new()
Authlogic::Session::Activation::NotActivatedError: You must activate
the Authlogic::Session::Base.controller with a controller object
before creating objects
from /home/src/ruby/rails/blog_mailasail/vendor/plugins/authlogic/lib/
authlogic/session/activation.rb:47:in `initialize'
from /home/src/ruby/rails/blog_mailasail/vendor/plugins/authlogic/lib/
authlogic/session/klass.rb:61:in `initialize'
from /home/src/ruby/rails/blog_mailasail/vendor/plugins/authlogic/lib/
authlogic/session/scopes.rb:79:in `initialize'
from (irb):9:in `new'
from (irb):9


I can't see how to use "activate_authlogic" in this situation?

Thanks

Right, just like AR needs a DB connection, Authlogic needs a
connection to a controller object. To use it in the console you need
to use a mock controller:

Authlogic::TestCase::MockController.new

hope that helps.

Just to clarify the solution, I need

m=Authlogic::TestCase::MockController.new
UserSession.controller=m
us=UserSession.new()

Thanks Ben

Yes, authlogic needs to interact with a controller object, so you
basically need to trick it, since there is no controller in the console.
