There's a proposal [1] to add a new method to the test client that works like login(), but skips the authentication (no credentials need to be provided) and verification (is_active=False can login) steps. The signature is (user, backend=None). What would you name this method?
Proposals so far: * force_login() (since this method bypasses authentication and other checks login() has) * login_user() (since this method takes a user argument instead of credentials) [1] https://github.com/django/django/pull/4865 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
