So you need to replicate the dictionary that repoze.what puts in place
in the wsgi request.
So what I do is have a series of functions in the test class like:
admin_user = { 'user': object(),
'groups': ('admin'),
'permissions': ('add_job')
}
and then I will use it in a test like so:
def test_list(self):
# check that it's first permission locked down
response = self.app.get(
url=url(controller='accounts', action='list'),
params={},
status=302
)
response = self.app.get(
url=url(controller='accounts', action='list'),
params={},
extra_environ={'repoze.what.credentials': self.admin_user},
status=200
)
