[Grok-dev] getUtility() fails from IApplicationInitializedEvent function

[Àlex Magaz Graça]

Thanks Souheil, I solved the problem setting the site:

from zope.component.hooks import setSite

@grok.subscribe(Helpdesk, grok.IApplicationInitializedEvent)
def setUpTestUsers(obj, event):
     setSite(obj)
     authPlugin = getUtility(IAuthenticatorPlugin, "users")
     authPlugin.addTestingUsers()

Still, it seems the application isn't entirely initialised yet, because 
now I get an exception when the Account object is added to userFolder 
(just a container):

NotYet: <helpdesk.auth.Account object at 0x41ffb10>

The code is like this:

class UserAuthenticatorPlugin(grok.LocalUtility):
     grok.provides(IAuthenticatorPlugin)
     grok.name("users")

     def __init__(self):
         self.userFolder = UserFolder()

     def addTestingUsers(self):
         roleManager = IPrincipalRoleManager( grok.getSite() )
         self.userFolder["tech"] = Account("tech", "tech", "Technician", 
"helpdesk.Tech")

I just want to add some test users to the application. Should I take 
another approach to do this? Before trying with the event, I called the 
method from the plugin's __init__, but this made functional tests fail:

[...]
File "/home/alex/uni/projecte/repo/trunk/HelpDesk/src/helpdesk/auth.py", 
line 36, in __init__
     self.addTestingUsers()
   File 
"/home/alex/uni/projecte/repo/trunk/HelpDesk/src/helpdesk/auth.py", line 
41, in addTestingUsers
     roleManager = IPrincipalRoleManager( grok.getSite() )
TypeError: ('Could not adapt', None, <InterfaceClass 
zope.securitypolicy.interfaces.IPrincipalRoleManager>)

Thanks,
Àlex
