intrinsics - How do I fake a user log in for unit testing purposes using fakeiteasy within asp.net mvc 2 -

i have started learning , usingasp.net mvc 2 , getting more involved unit testing code. question broadly how simulate user log in passing in credentials within test.

i using mspec , trying head around fakeiteasy in order write test. far, believe i've written 1 test correctly (it passes test condition) when unauthenticated user tries access page.

subject( typeof( homecontroller ) )] public class context_for_a_home_controller_for_not_logged_user {     protected static homecontroller homecontroller;      establish context = () =>     {         // create controller         homecontroller = new homecontroller();          homecontroller.controllercontext = a.fake<controllercontext>();     }; }  [subject(typeof(homecontroller))] public class when_the_home_page_is_requested : context_for_a_home_controller_for_not_logged_user {     static actionresult result;      because of = () =>          result = homecontroller.index();      should_return_the_log_in_page_if_user_not_logged_in = () =>         { result.shouldbeaview().and().shouldusedefaultview(); }; } 

so far good. however, i'd test scenario when authenticated user hits home controller. i'm stuck in how simulate authenticated user , or advice welcome.

after getting in touch patrik hagne, creator of fakeiteasy, came following:

 [subject( typeof( homecontroller ) )] public class context_for_a_home_controller_for_logged_user {     protected static homecontroller homecontroller;      establish context = () =>     {         // create controller         homecontroller = new homecontroller();          homecontroller.controllercontext = a.fake<controllercontext>();         var fakeprincipal = a.fake<iprincipal>();         var fakeidentity = new genericidentity( "username" );         a.callto( () => fakeprincipal.identity ).returns( fakeidentity );         a.callto( () => homecontroller.controllercontext.httpcontext.user ).returns( fakeprincipal );     }; } 

that did trick! patrik!
