Create new user in Firebase with createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password) withour automaticly sign in [duplicate]

So I have this issue where every time I add a new user account, it kicks out the current user that is already signed in. I read the firebase api and it said that "If the new account was created, the user is signed in automatically" But they never said anything else about avoiding that.
//ADD EMPLOYEES
addEmployees: function(formData){
firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(formData.email, formData.password).then(function(data){
console.log(data);
});
},
I'm the admin and I'm adding accounts into my site. I would like it if I can add an account without being signed out and signed into the new account. Any way i can avoid this?

Original answer
This is actually possible.
But not directly, the way to do it is to create a second auth reference and use that to create users:
var config = {apiKey: "apiKey",
authDomain: "projectId.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com"};
var secondaryApp = firebase.initializeApp(config, "Secondary");
secondaryApp.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(em, pwd).then(function(firebaseUser) {
console.log("User " + firebaseUser.uid + " created successfully!");
//I don't know if the next statement is necessary
secondaryApp.auth().signOut();
});
If you don't specify which firebase connection you use for an operation it will use the first one by default.
Source for multiple app references.
EDIT
For the actual creation of a new user, it doesn't matter that there is nobody or someone else than the admin, authenticated on the second auth reference because for creating an account all you need is the auth reference itself.
The following hasn't been tested but it is something to think about
The thing you do have to think about is writing data to firebase. Common practice is that users can edit/update their own user info so when you use the second auth reference for writing this should work. But if you have something like roles or permissions for that user make sure you write that with the auth reference that has the right permissions. In this case, the main auth is the admin and the second auth is the newly created user.

Update 20161108 - original answer below
Firebase just released its firebase-admin SDK, which allows server-side code for this and other common administrative use-cases. Read the installation instructions and then dive into the documentation on creating users.
original answer
This is currently not possible. Creating an Email+Password user automatically signs that new user in.

I just created a Firebase Function that triggers when a Firestore document is Created (with rules write-only to admin user). Then use admin.auth().createUser() to create the new user properly.
export const createUser = functions.firestore
.document('newUsers/{userId}')
.onCreate(async (snap, context) => {
const userId = context.params.userId;
const newUser = await admin.auth().createUser({
disabled: false,
displayName: snap.get('displayName'),
email: snap.get('email'),
password: snap.get('password'),
phoneNumber: snap.get('phoneNumber')
});
// You can also store the new user in another collection with extra fields
await admin.firestore().collection('users').doc(newUser.uid).set({
uid: newUser.uid,
email: newUser.email,
name: newUser.displayName,
phoneNumber: newUser.phoneNumber,
otherfield: snap.get('otherfield'),
anotherfield: snap.get('anotherfield')
});
// Delete the temp document
return admin.firestore().collection('newUsers').doc(userId).delete();
});
You can Algo use functions.https.onCall()
exports.createUser= functions.https.onCall((data, context) => {
const uid = context.auth.uid; // Authorize as you want
// ... do the same logic as above
});
calling it.
const createUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('createUser');
createUser({userData: data}).then(result => {
// success or error handling
});

Swift 5: Simple Solution
First store the current user in a variable called originalUser
let originalUser = Auth.auth().currentUser
Then, in the completion handler of creating a new user, use the updateCurrentUser method to restore the original user
Auth.auth().updateCurrentUser(originalUser, completion: nil)

Here is a simple solution using web SDKs.
Create a cloud function (https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions)
import admin from 'firebase-admin';
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';
const createUser = functions.https.onCall((data) => {
return admin.auth().createUser(data)
.catch((error) => {
throw new functions.https.HttpsError('internal', error.message)
});
});
export default createUser;
Call this function from your app
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
const createUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('createUser');
createUser({ email, password })
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
Optionally, you can set user document information using the returned uid.
createUser({ email, password })
.then(({ data: user }) => {
return database
.collection('users')
.doc(user.uid)
.set({
firstname,
lastname,
created: new Date(),
});
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);

I got André's very clever workaround working in Objective-C using the Firebase iOS SDK:
NSString *plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"GoogleService-Info" ofType:#"plist"];
FIROptions *secondaryAppOptions = [[FIROptions alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
[FIRApp configureWithName:#"Secondary" options:secondaryAppOptions];
FIRApp *secondaryApp = [FIRApp appNamed:#"Secondary"];
FIRAuth *secondaryAppAuth = [FIRAuth authWithApp:secondaryApp];
[secondaryAppAuth createUserWithEmail:user.email
password:user.password
completion:^(FIRUser * _Nullable user, NSError * _Nullable error) {
[secondaryAppAuth signOut:nil];
}];

Update for Swift 4
I have tried a few different options to create multiple users from a single account, but this is by far the best and easiest solution.
Original answer by Nico
First Configure firebase in your AppDelegate.swift file
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
FirebaseApp.configure()
FirebaseApp.configure(name: "CreatingUsersApp", options: FirebaseApp.app()!.options)
return true
}
Add the following code to action where you are creating the accounts.
if let secondaryApp = FirebaseApp.app(name: "CreatingUsersApp") {
let secondaryAppAuth = Auth.auth(app: secondaryApp)
// Create user in secondary app.
secondaryAppAuth.createUser(withEmail: email, password: password) { (user, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
} else {
//Print created users email.
print(user!.email!)
//Print current logged in users email.
print(Auth.auth().currentUser?.email ?? "default")
try! secondaryAppAuth.signOut()
}
}
}
}

You can use firebase function for add users.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
const cors = require('cors')({
origin: true,
});
exports.AddUser = functions.https.onRequest(( req, res ) => {
// Grab the text parameter.
cors( req, res, () => {
let email = req.body.email;
let passwd = req.body.passwd;
let role = req.body.role;
const token = req.get('Authorization').split('Bearer ')[1];
admin.auth().verifyIdToken(token)
.then(
(decoded) => {
// return res.status(200).send( decoded )
return creatUser(decoded);
})
.catch((err) => {
return res.status(401).send(err)
});
function creatUser(user){
admin.auth().createUser({
email: email,
emailVerified: false,
password: passwd,
disabled: false
})
.then((result) => {
console.log('result',result);
return res.status(200).send(result);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error.message);
return res.status(400).send(error.message);
})
}
});
});
CreateUser(){
//console.log('Create User')
this.submitted = true;
if (this.myGroup.invalid) {
return;
}
let Email = this.myGroup.value.Email;
let Passwd = this.myGroup.value.Passwd;
let Role = 'myrole';
let TechNum = this.myGroup.value.TechNum;
let user = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user'));
let role = user.role;
let AdminUid = user.uid;
let authToken = user.stsTokenManager.accessToken;
let httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders().set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + authToken);
let options = { headers: httpHeaders };
let params = { email:Email,passwd:Passwd,role:Role };
this.httpClient.post('https://us-central1-myproject.cloudfunctions.net/AddUser', params, options)
.subscribe( val => {
//console.log('Response from cloud function', val );
let createdUser:any = val;
//console.log(createdUser.uid);
const userRef: AngularFirestoreDocument<any> = this.afs.doc(`users/${createdUser.uid}`);
const userUpdate = {
uid: createdUser.uid,
email: createdUser.email,
displayName: null,
photoURL: null,
emailVerified: createdUser.emailVerified,
role: Role,
TechNum:TechNum,
AccountAccess:this.AccountAccess,
UserStatus:'open',
OwnerUid:AdminUid,
OwnerUidRole:role,
RootAccountAccess:this.RootAccountAccess
}
userRef.set(userUpdate, {
merge: false
});
this.toastr.success('Success, user add','Success');
this.myGroup.reset();
this.submitted = false;
},
err => {
console.log('HTTP Error', err.error)
this.toastr.error(err.error,'Error')
},
() => console.log('HTTP request completed.')
);
}

On the web, this is due to unexpected behavior when you call createUserWithEmailAndPassword out of the registration context; e.g. inviting a new user to your app by creating a new user account.
Seems like, createUserWithEmailAndPassword method triggers a new refresh token and user cookies are updated too. (This side-effect is not documented)
Here is a workaround for Web SDK:
After creating the new user;
firebase.auth().updateCurrentUser (loggedInUser.current)
provided that you initiate loggedInUser with the original user beforehand.

Hey i had similar problem ,trying to create users through admin , as it is not possible to signUp user without signIn ,I created a work around ,adding it below with steps
Instead of signup create a node in firebase realtime db with email as key (firebase do not allow email as key so I have created a function to generate key from email and vice versa, I will attach the functions below)
Save a initial password field while saving user (can even hash it with bcrypt or something, if you prefer though it will be used one time only)
Now Once user try to login check if any node with that email (generate key from email) exist in the db and if so then match the password provided.
If the password matched delete the node and do authSignUpWithEmailandPassword with provided credentials.
User is registered successfully
//Sign In
firebaseDB.child("users").once("value", (snapshot) => {
const users = snapshot.val();
const userKey = emailToKey(data.email);
if (Object.keys(users).find((key) => key === userKey)) {
setError("user already exist");
setTimeout(() => {
setError(false);
}, 2000);
setLoading(false);
} else {
firebaseDB
.child(`users`)
.child(userKey)
.set({ email: data.email, initPassword: data.password })
.then(() => setLoading(false))
.catch(() => {
setLoading(false);
setError("Error in creating user please try again");
setTimeout(() => {
setError(false);
}, 2000);
});
}
});
//Sign Up
signUp = (data, setLoading, setError) => {
auth
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(data.email, data.password)
.then((res) => {
const userDetails = {
email: res.user.email,
id: res.user.uid,
};
const key = emailToKey(data.email);
app
.database()
.ref(`users/${key}`)
.remove()
.then(() => {
firebaseDB.child("users").child(res.user.uid).set(userDetails);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(() => {
setLoading(false);
setError("error while registering try again");
setTimeout(() => setError(false), 4000);
});
})
.catch((err) => {
setLoading(false);
setError(err.message);
setTimeout(() => setError(false), 4000);
});
};
//Function to create a valid firebase key from email and vice versa
const emailToKey = (email) => {
//firebase do not allow ".", "#", "$", "[", or "]"
let key = email;
key = key.replace(".", ",0,");
key = key.replace("#", ",1,");
key = key.replace("$", ",2,");
key = key.replace("[", ",3,");
key = key.replace("]", ",4,");
return key;
};
const keyToEmail = (key) => {
let email = key;
email = email.replace(",0,", ".");
email = email.replace(",1,", "#");
email = email.replace(",2,", "$");
email = email.replace(",3,", "[");
email = email.replace(",4,", "]");
return email;
};

If you want to do it in your front end create a second auth reference use it to create other users and sign out and delete that reference. If you do it this way you won't be signed out when creating a new user and you won't get the error that the default firebase app already exists.
const createOtherUser =()=>{
var config = {
//your firebase config
};
let secondaryApp = firebase.initializeApp(config, "secondary");
secondaryApp.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).then((userCredential) => {
console.log(userCredential.user.uid);
}).then(secondaryApp.auth().signOut()
)
.then(secondaryApp.delete()
)
}

Update 19.05.2022 - using #angular/fire (latest available = v.7.3.0)
If you are not using firebase directly in your app, but use e.g. #angular/fire for auth purposes only, you can use the same approach as suggested earlier as follows with the #angular/fire library:
import { Auth, getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword } from '#angular/fire/auth';
import { deleteApp, initializeApp } from '#angular/fire/app';
import { firebaseConfiguration } from '../config/app.config'; // <-- Your project's configuration here.
const tempApp = initializeApp(firebaseConfiguration, "tempApp");
const tempAppAuth = getAuth(tempApp);
await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(tempAppAuth, email, password)
.then(async (newUser) => {
resolve( () ==> {
// Do something, e.g. add user info to database
});
})
.catch(error => reject(error))
.finally( () => {
tempAppAuth.signOut()
.then( () => deleteApp(tempApp));
});

The Swift version:
FIRApp.configure()
// Creating a second app to create user without logging in
FIRApp.configure(withName: "CreatingUsersApp", options: FIRApp.defaultApp()!.options)
if let secondaryApp = FIRApp(named: "CreatingUsersApp") {
let secondaryAppAuth = FIRAuth(app: secondaryApp)
secondaryAppAuth?.createUser(...)
}

Here is a Swift 3 adaptaion of Jcabrera's answer :
let bundle = Bundle.main
let path = bundle.path(forResource: "GoogleService-Info", ofType: "plist")!
let options = FIROptions.init(contentsOfFile: path)
FIRApp.configure(withName: "Secondary", options: options!)
let secondary_app = FIRApp.init(named: "Secondary")
let second_auth = FIRAuth(app : secondary_app!)
second_auth?.createUser(withEmail: self.username.text!, password: self.password.text!)
{
(user,error) in
print(user!.email!)
print(FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.email ?? "default")
}

If you are using Polymer and Firebase (polymerfire) see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46698801/1821603
Essentially you create a secondary <firebase-app> to handle the new user registration without affecting the current user.

Android solution (Kotlin):
1.You need FirebaseOptions BUILDER(!) for setting api key, db url, etc., and don't forget to call build() at the end
2.Make a secondary auth variable by calling FirebaseApp.initializeApp()
3.Get instance of FirebaseAuth by passing your newly created secondary auth, and do whatever you want (e.g. createUser)
// 1. you can find these in your project settings under general tab
val firebaseOptionsBuilder = FirebaseOptions.Builder()
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setDatabaseUrl("YOUR_DATABASE_URL")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setProjectId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setApplicationId("YOUR_APPLICATION_ID") //not sure if this one is needed
val firebaseOptions = firebaseOptionsBuilder.build()
// indeterminate progress dialog *ANKO*
val progressDialog = indeterminateProgressDialog(resources.getString(R.string.progressDialog_message_registering))
progressDialog.show()
// 2. second auth created by passing the context, firebase options and a string for secondary db name
val newAuth = FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this#ListActivity, firebaseOptions, Constants.secondary_db_auth)
// 3. calling the create method on our newly created auth, passed in getInstance
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(newAuth).createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email!!, password!!)
.addOnCompleteListener { it ->
if (it.isSuccessful) {
// 'it' is a Task<AuthResult>, so we can get our newly created user from result
val newUser = it.result.user
// store wanted values on your user model, e.g. email, name, phonenumber, etc.
val user = User()
user.email = email
user.name = name
user.created = Date().time
user.active = true
user.phone = phone
// set user model on /db_root/users/uid_of_created_user/, or wherever you want depending on your structure
FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference.child(Constants.db_users).child(newUser.uid).setValue(user)
// send newly created user email verification link
newUser.sendEmailVerification()
progressDialog.dismiss()
// sign him out
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(newAuth).signOut()
// DELETE SECONDARY AUTH! thanks, Jimmy :D
newAuth.delete()
} else {
progressDialog.dismiss()
try {
throw it.exception!!
// catch exception for already existing user (e-mail)
} catch (e: FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) {
alert(resources.getString(R.string.exception_FirebaseAuthUserCollision), resources.getString(R.string.alertDialog_title_error)) {
okButton {
isCancelable = false
}
}.show()
}
}
}

For Android, i suggest a simpler way to do it, without having to provide api key, application id...etc by hand by just using the FirebaseOptions of the default instance.
val firebaseDefaultApp = Firebase.auth.app
val signUpAppName = firebaseDefaultApp.name + "_signUp"
val signUpApp = try {
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(
context,
firebaseDefaultApp.options,
signUpAppName
)
} catch (e: IllegalStateException) {
// IllegalStateException is throw if an app with the same name has already been initialized.
FirebaseApp.getInstance(signUpAppName)
}
// Here is the instance you can use to sign up without triggering auth state on the default Firebase.auth
val signUpFirebaseAuth = Firebase.auth(signUpApp)
How to use ?
signUpFirebaseAuth
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
.addOnSuccessListener {
// Optional, you can send verification email here if you need
// As soon as the sign up with sign in is over, we can sign out the current user
firebaseAuthSignUp.signOut()
}
.addOnFailureListener {
// Log
}

My solution to this question is to store the User Name/Email and password in a static class and then add a new user log out the new user and immediately log in as the admin user(id pass you saved). Works like a charm for me :D

This is a version for Kotlin:
fun createUser(mail: String, password: String) {
val opts = FirebaseOptions.fromResource(requireContext())
if (opts == null) return
val app = Firebase.initialize(requireContext(), opts, "Secondary")
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(app)
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(mail, password)
.addOnSuccessListener {
app.delete()
doWhateverWithAccount(it)
}.addOnFailureListener {
app.delete()
showException(it)
}
}
It uses the configuration from your default Firebase application instance, just under a different name.
It also deletes the newly created instance afterwards, so you can call this multiple times without any exception about already existing Secondary application.

'message' is not defined no-undef React Error

So basically I am trying to learn promises, The only thing that is bothering me is , I am not able to render the message of promise to the frontend page. Everything else is going fine.I also need to understand what more can we do inside resolve, is it a function ? can we do more activity there ?
import "./testAPI.css"
// import react from "react"
function testAPI() {
let test = new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
const res = await fetch("/testAPI").then((res) => res.json());
if(res.status === "Successful"){
resolve("API Fetch is Successful")
}
else {
reject("Could not fetch API")
}
})
test.then((message) => {
console.log(message)
return message;
}).catch((message) => {
console.log(message)
})
return (
<>
<div className="message" >This is message {message} </div>
</>
);
}
export default testAPI;
The error I am getting is
src/components/testAPI/testAPI.js
Line 24:52: 'message' is not defined no-undef
How to render the message variable's value on the page ?

You need to rewrite your component to make use of
State - to change the value over time. For example you have a message which doesn't exist unless you made an api call . To preserve the values which changes over time we use state in react . setMessage is to trigger a re-render for the component. So you made the API call and have the message but how will the react know that you need to show this message which you got from the Api call ? . so do that react useState has the second element in the array a state updater function. if you call it the component will re-render causing the UI to be sync in with the latest changes .
useEffect - to trigger the api call when the component is mounted .
import "./testAPI.css"
import { useState } from "react"
function testAPI() {
const [ message , setMessage ] = useState(null);
const makeApiCall = async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch("/testAPI").then((res) => res.json());
const result = await response.json();
if(result.status === "Successful"){
setMessage("API Fetch is Successful")
}
}catch(error){
setMessage("Could not fetch API")
}
}
useEffect(() => {
makeApiCall()
}, [])
return (
<>
{ message && (<div className="message" >This is message {message } </div>)}
</>
);
}
export default testAPI;

How to update remaining days of all user in firestore from server side?

I just want to know that how we can update all remaining days of all users in firestore from server side.Is there any need to use firebase CLI and node.js.

To run periodic updates (on a daily basis) I would suggest a Firebase function which queries the collection and updated the data according to your needs. You can create a http function which can be triggered via URL (you can schedule a CRON job to trigger it) or pubsub function which has it's own scheduling mechanism (It needs a paid Firebase plan).
PubSub example:
export scheduledFunctionCrontab =
functions.pubsub.schedule('5 11 * * *').onRun((context) => {
console.log('This will be run every day at 11:05 AM UTC!');
//query and update database collection
});
Http example:
exports.functionName = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
//query and update database collection
});
Javascript for updating Firestore in Node.js would be something like this:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
var db = admin.firestore();
async function getDocuments() {
let docRef = db.collection('<collectionName>');
const result = await docRef.where(admin.firestore.FieldPath.documentId(), '>=', 'condition')
.get();
return result.docs;
}
exports.updateData = functions.pubsub.schedule('every 1 days').onRun(async context => {
const documents = await getDocuments();
for(i = 0; i < documents.length; i++) {
documents[i].update({
timestamp: firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
});
}
});

securesocial customization on play framework

i am trying to customize secure social methods on play framework using java APIs.
basically i need to send requests in J SON and also responses in J SON.
what i want to do is a back end for I-phone App. there is no many resources about secure social on the internet.
i need to implement log in using username and password and using providers(face book,twitter,...).
i used this code but did not work:
import play.api.libs.json.Json
import play.api.mvc._
import securesocial.core._
class AuthController extends Controller {
private implicit val readsOAuth2Info = Json.reads[OAuth2Info]
// Some of the below code is taken from ProviderController in SecureSocial
def authenticateMobile(providerName: String) = Action(parse.json) { implicit request =>
// format: { "accessToken": "..." }
val oauth2Info = request.body.asOpt[OAuth2Info]
val provider = Registry.providers.get(providerName).get
val filledUser = provider.fillProfile(
SocialUser(IdentityId("", provider.id), "", "", "", None, None, provider.authMethod, oAuth2Info = oauth2Info))
UserService.find(filledUser.identityId) map { user =>
val newSession = Events.fire(new LoginEvent(user)).getOrElse(session)
Authenticator.create(user).fold(
error => throw error,
authenticator => Ok(Json.obj("sessionId" -> authenticator.id))
.withSession(newSession - SecureSocial.OriginalUrlKey - IdentityProvider.SessionId - OAuth1Provider.CacheKey)
.withCookies(authenticator.toCookie)
)
} getOrElse NotFound(Json.obj("error" -> "user not found"))
}
// any other methods you might have relating to authentication ...
}
any idea how i can start with that?
thanks

Test WebSocket in PlayFramework

I have a WebSocket in my Play application and I want to write a test for it, but I couldn't find any example on how to write such a test. I found a discussion in the play-framework Google group but there has been no activity recently.
So, are there any ideas on how to test WebSocket's in a Java test?

You can retrieve underlying Iteratee,Enumerator and test them directly. This way you don't need to use a browser. You need akka-testkit though, to cope with asynchronous nature of iteratees.
A Scala example:
object WebSocket extends Controller {
def websocket = WebSocket.async[JsValue] { request =>
Future.successful(Iteratee.ignore[JsValue] -> Enumerator.apply[JsValue](Json.obj("type" -> "error")))
}
}
class WebSocketSpec extends PlaySpecification {
"WebSocket" should {
"respond with error packet" in new WithApplication {
val request = FakeRequest()
var message: JsValue = null
val iteratee = Iteratee.foreach[JsValue](chunk => message = chunk)(Akka.system.dispatcher)
Controller.websocket().f(request)(Enumerator.empty[JsValue],iteratee)
TestKit.awaitCond(message == Json.obj("type" -> "error"), 1 second)
}
}
}

I test WebSockets code using Firefox:
https://github.com/schleichardt/stackoverflow-answers/commit/13d5876791ef409e092e4a097f54247d851e17dc#L8R14
For Java it works similar replacing 'HTMLUNIT' with 'FIREFOX': http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.x/JavaFunctionalTest

Chrome provides a plugin to test websocket service.
Edit
So using the plugin (as shown in picture below) you can provide websocket url and the request data and send message to service. And message log shows the message sent from client and also service response.

Assume that you have a websocket library that returns the Future[Itearatee[JsValue, Unit], Enumerator[JsValue]] your controller uses
trait WSLib {
def connect: Future[Itearatee[JsValue, Unit], Enumerator[JsValue]]
}
And you wanna test this library.
Here is a context you can use:
trait WebSocketContext extends WithApplication {
val aSecond = FiniteDuration(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
case class Incoming(iteratee: Iteratee[JsValue, Unit]) {
def feed(message: JsValue) = {
iteratee.feed(Input.El(message))
}
def end(wait: Long = 100) = {
Thread.sleep(wait) //wait until all previous fed messages are handled
iteratee.feed(Input.EOF)
}
}
case class OutGoing(enum: Enumerator[JsValue]) {
val messages = enum(Iteratee.fold(List[JsValue]()) {
(l, jsValue) => jsValue :: l
}).flatMap(_.run)
def get: List[JsValue] = {
Await.result(messages, aSecond)
}
}
def wrapConnection(connection: => Future[Iteratee[JsValue, Unit], Enumerator[JsValue]]): (Incoming, OutGoing) = {
val (iteratee, enumerator) = Await.result(conn, aSecond)
(Incoming(iteratee), OutGoing(enumerator))
}
}
Then your tests can be written as
"return all subscribers when asked for info" in new WebSocketContext {
val (incoming, outgoing) = wrapConnection(myWSLib.connect)
incoming.feed(JsObject("message" => "hello"))
incoming.end() //this closes the connection
val responseMessages = outgoing.get //you only call this "get" after the connection is closed
responseMessages.size must equalTo(1)
responseMessages must contain(JsObject("reply" => "Hey"))
