[Grok-dev] Can't login in functional doctest

[Lukas Zdych]

Hi,

at first thx for your response. I started to debug whole authentication 
process and found my mistake which was right in the PrincipalAddForm's
join action:

...
principal = createObject(u'myproject.factory.principal', **data)
self.applyData(account, **data)
...

The first line of code calls my factory which creates new principal and 
in it's constructor calls:

...
self.password = self.setPassword(password) # this encodes plain password
...

The second line replaces my encoded password with plain one.

My silly mistake was ugly hack in the my_pricipal_class.checkPassword 
marked with comment: # FIXME bla bla bla..

It was workin' in the real browser because of that hack and not workin' 
in the test because there I didn't use the addform but the factory only.

So today I got a big lesson about coding and testing which I'm very 
happy about: TEST TEST and TEST any new code, any bug immediately

Thx for makin' me think :)
