I would like to register users programmatically, so I can test my application with multiple users.
The way I thought of doing this was:
if db( db.auth_user ).count() == 0: alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' for letter in alphabet: db.auth_user.validate_and_insert( first_name=letter , last_name=letter , email='%s@%s.com'%(letter , letter) , username=letter , password='qwer' ) This however doesn't set the other tables about group membership etc.
Use:
from gluon.storage import Storage onaccept = auth.settings.register_onaccept.pop() # Disable registration callback. alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' for letter in alphabet: user = auth.register_bare(first_name=letter, last_name=letter, email='%s@%s.com' % (letter, letter), username=letter, password='qwer') user and onaccept(Storage(vars=user)) auth.settings.register_onaccept = [onaccept] # Restore registration callback. The above temporarily disables the register_onaccept callback, as a bug in register_bare prevents it from working properly. Instead, it is called manually after the registration, passing in the user object (which is the full user record, including the id field).
auth.settings.register_onaccept function which takes form as a variable and uses form.vars.id. But in this case form.vars isn't defined. Any hints?
auth.register_bare -- it passes a dictionary of the user fields to register_onaccept, but it does not include the id (and there is no .vars attribute). I would say either re-write the callback to deal with the alternative input (and if you need the id, get it by doing a lookup based on the email), or disable the callback and instead call it manually, passing it the returned user object (the answer has been updated with this latter approach).form is a Storage object with keys first_name, last_name etcform.vars not form.userYou can look here and here, basicly for add a user and assign a group you can:
new_user_id = db.auth_user.insert(first_name="Admin", last_name="Username", email="[email protected]", password=db.auth_user.password.requires[0]('mypassword')[0]) auth.add_membership('admin', db.auth_user(new_user_id) )
