how to add basic auth

[nils-hoyer]

i want to add basic auth for get and post requests. I assume globalSetup() createWithAction() will be the right place, but i have no idea how to parse the information correctly.

Actually I would like to add an auth method back on Frisby like v0.x had to make this easier. It would just use setup internally on the single test, so it would be a method on FrisbySpec.

Shouldn't you be able to just add a header? Such as:

frisby.get(url + 'user/search/{query}', { headers: { "Authorization": 'My auth here' }}) .expect('status', 200) .expect('jsonTypes', 'data.?', scheme) .expect('header', 'content-type', 'application/json')

Hi everyone.

If basic authentication, can test like following code.
(user: user, password: passwd)

const frisby = require('frisby');

it('auth test', function (done) {
  frisby.get('https://user:[email protected]/basic-auth/user/passwd')
    .expect('status', 200)
    .done(done);
});

or

const frisby = require('frisby');
const url = require('url');

it('auth test(2)', function (done) {
  // use Legacy URL API.
  var myURL = url.parse('https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd');
  myURL.auth = 'user:passwd';
  frisby.get(url.format(myURL))
    .expect('status', 200)
    .done(done);
});
