Users

The Mantle Test Framework provides a method $this->acting_as( $user ) to execute a test as a given user or a user in the given role.

Passing a role name to acting_as() will create a new user with that role and authenticate as that user.

$this->acting_as( 'administrator' );
$this->assertTrue( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) );

$this->acting_as( 'contributor' );
$this->get( '/some-admin-only-page/' )
     ->assertForbidden();

You may also pass a user instance to acting_as() to authenticate as that user.

$this->acting_as( static::factory()->user->create() );

Assertions

The Mantle Test Framework provides assertions to make it possible to assert if you are authenticated as a given user or role or not at all.

Assert that the user is authenticated.

$this->assertAuthenticated();

Also supports checking if the current user is a specific user or role:

$this->assertAuthenticated( 'administrator' );

$this->assertAuthenticatedAs( $user );

Assert that the user is not authenticated.

$this->assertGuest();
