Issue with loginAs(user) method inside test.

[moitorrijos]

Hi everyone.

I have an issue with the loginAs(user) method inside a test I am running.
I already have the @adonis/auth installed and configured, as well as the auth middleware setup.
Furthermore, I also have @adonis/session installed and setup.

This is the code for the test I am running:

import { test } from '@japa/runner'
import User from 'App/Models/User'

test.group('Users', () => {
  test('Get page 1 of users list', async ({ client }) => {
    const user = await User.find(1)
    if (!user) throw new Error('User not found')
    const response = await client.get('/users/page/1').loginAs(user)
    response.dumpBody()
  })
})

This is what I get back in dumped by the response.dumpBody():

"body"     => {
  errors: [ { message: 'E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS: Unauthorized access' } ]
}

Basically, I am having the same issue Aman had in this video:

But I watched it many times and when he corrected the video was cut out.

Please help.
🙏

Make sure to set the SESSION_DRIVER to memory. Following is a screenshot from docs.

Thank you. I don't know how I missed that in the docs.

Thanks, with this code I discovered how to authenticate in test requests.
