This card describes a Cucumber step that lets you say:
When I perform basic authentication as "username/password" and I visit the admin area
The path component ("... the admin area") is parsed through your path_to helper in features/support/paths.rb.
Capybara
The step definition is part of Spreewald Show archive.org snapshot . The step has been tested with multiple versions of Capybara, Rack::Test and Selenium.
Webrat (legacy)
This is a simpler version of the step above:
When /^I perform HTTP authentication as "([^\"]*)\/([^\"]*)"$/ do |email, password|
basic_auth email, password
end
