authenticate current_user in ferrum browser #423
Description
I am trying to invoke Ferrum::Browser.new inside a Rails controller and access an action that requires authentication.
However it naturally brings me to/renders the sign_in page:
I know that I could do something like this to authenticate the user
browser.go_to "http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in"
browser.at_css("#user_email").focus.type(current_user.email)
browser.at_css("#user_password").focus.type(current_user.password)
browser.at_css("input[type='submit']").click
browser.go_to url_for(report_url(@report))However is there a legit way to set the user in the browser?
I was thinking something like this, but it does not seem to work:
cookie = request.cookies["_myapp_session"]
browser.cookies.set(name: '_myapp_session', value: cookie, domain: 'localhost')full code:
def show
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.pdf do
cookie = request.cookies["_myapp_session"]
filename = "newfile.pdf"
tmp = Tempfile.new(filename)
browser = Ferrum::Browser.new
browser.cookies.set(name: '_myapp_session', value: cookie, domain: 'localhost')
browser.go_to url_for(report_url(@report))
sleep(1)
pdf = browser.pdf(path: tmp.path,
format: "A4".to_sym,
scale: 1,
landscape: false)
browser.quit
pdf_data = File.read(tmp.path)
send_data(pdf_data, type: "application/pdf", disposition: "inline", filename: filename)
end
end
end
