unit testing - python - Flask test_client() doesn't have request.authorization with pytest -

i have problem when testing flask app pytest.
app required basic auth parameters of request.authorization in flask.
pytest, flask.test_client() doesn't have request.authorization.

here's code of fixture:

@pytest.yield_fixture(scope='session') def app()     app = create_app()      # setup code      ctx = app.app_context()     ctx.push()     yield app     ctx.pop()     # teadown code  @pytest.fixture def test_client(app)      return app.test_client() 

here's code of test:

def test_index(test_client):     res = test_client.get("/", headers={"authorization": "basic {user}".format(user=b64encode(b"test_user"))})     assert res.status_code == 200 

when run test, got error:

e       assert 401 == 200 e        +  401 = <response streamed [401 unauthorized]>.status_code 

not auth failure, request.authorization doesn't have value(none).
why happen? there solution?

thanks.

the credentials http basic authentication must have username , password separated colon. try this:

def test_index(test_client):     res = test_client.get("/", headers={"authorization": "basic {user}".format(user=b64encode(b"test_user:test_password"))})     assert res.status_code == 200
