Description

I'm on a very basic Sails Web App.

I need to implement Testing, but i've not found anything on authenticated user.

I followed the basic [sails testing](https://sailsjs.com/documentation/concepts/testing).

Does anyone have an idea how to do it ?

I've tried the method detailed in this [article](https://medium.com/@juha.a.hytonen/testing-authenticated-requests-with-supertest-325ccf47c2bb).

But it still gives me two errors, one on login, and gives me 200 instead of 302 ( i'm testing the basic provided welcome page in the view-homepage-or-redirect action)

Research direction

Start with the linked Sails testing documentation and reproduce the authenticated request around the login flow and the view-homepage-or-redirect action. Review the two reported errors and the unexpected 200-versus-302 response; the work is done when the authentication test behavior and the expected response are clearly explained or corrected.
