unittests, ui_factory & Http Auth

[Viktor Nagy]

Hi,

I am trying to integrate bzr with a service I'm developing, and would like
to write a python library to simplify "desktop" integration. The service
uses bzr+http with http auth, and can't find out how to write a unittest
that would "ask" for some test credentials. If needed the credentials can be
hard-coded to the unittest.

in the library I have a code to do a checkout
    def checkout_or_update(self):
...
            accelerator, source = \

bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.open_tree_or_branch(self._get_remote_path())
            source.create_checkout(self.location, None, False, accelerator)
...

and wrote a unittest, that first changes bzrlib.ui.ui_factory to
CLIUIFactory and then calls the above method
rsp = project.checkout_or_update()

The unittest fails as
NotATerminal: Unable to ask for a password without real terminal.

My idea would be to create a custom CLIUIFactory that overwrites the
get_password method with the test password, but this seems to me like dirty
hacking as I might introduce a bug in my own code if my implementation is
wrong.

So how to pass on user credentials to bzr at unittest?
Note that I prefer to run the tests from eclipse, that is in an unbuffered
python shell.

Thanks for your help!
Viktor
