Using the Adonis HTTP test with jwt: Invalid guard driver "jwt" property

[isimisi]

https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/testing/http-tests

code:

test.group('Action controller - index', () => {
  test('get list of actions', async ({client}) =>{
    const user = await User.first() as User;
    const response = await client.get('/actions').loginAs(user)
    console.log(response.body())
  })
})

error:

Invalid guard driver "jwt" property

    141|       */
    142|      makeExtendedClient(mapping, config, provider) {

On Adonis they state that: "The @adonisjs/auth package extends the API client and adds the loginAs method you can use to login as a certain user when making the request." - which is really useful when you want to test.

However using this package with Adonis test and using the loginAs method I receive this error: 'Invalid guard driver "jwt" property'

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Can you share your config/auth.ts?

I run into the same problem, here is the related part from config/auth.ts:

const authConfig: AuthConfig = {
  guard: 'jwt',
  guards: {
    jwt: {
      driver: 'jwt',
      publicKey: Env.get('JWT_PUBLIC_KEY', '').replace(/\\n/g, '\n'),
      privateKey: Env.get('JWT_PRIVATE_KEY', '').replace(/\\n/g, '\n'),
      persistJwt: false,
      jwtDefaultExpire: Env.get('JWT_ACCESS_TOKENS_EXPIRES_IN', '10m'),
      refreshTokenDefaultExpire: Env.get('JWT_REFRESH_TOKENS_EXPIRES_IN', '16h'),
      tokenProvider: {
        type: 'api',
        driver: 'database',
        table: 'jwt_tokens',
        foreignKey: 'user_id',
      },
      provider: {
        driver: 'lucid',
        identifierKey: 'id',
        uids: ['email'],
        model: () => import('App/Models/User'),
      },
   }
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

did you get solution

One solution is to replace the jwt drive with 'oat' when running in test environment:

const authConfig: AuthConfig = {
  guard: 'jwt',
  guards: {
    jwt: {
      driver: (Env.get('NODE_ENV') === 'test' ? 'oat' : 'jwt') as 'jwt',

You only need to change the driver property while leaving the others as they are.

Currently, there's an open issue about it:

• Invalid guard driver "jwt" property #25

but than the test/login will generate an oat token instead of a jwt
