Is there any way to change the current user in Zope unit tests? I've managed to trace the current user down to SecurityManager._context.user, but reassigning that doesn't seem to make the change. Any hints?

I haven't tried it in unit tests, but the technique i use in debugging sessions should work: http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1046449715 -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's OCTO FLASH STRANGE! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)

You may want to have a look at ZopeTestCase. With it, changing the active user amounts to a call to self.login('someuser') Stefan On Freitag, Jun 27, 2003, at 07:21 Europe/Vienna, Richard Jones wrote:

I've poked through the Zope source and Products to see if there's any hints - but it doesn't look like anyone unit-tests security restrictions?!?
