QUnit integration test hangs during route transition

ember-simple-auth config:

App.initializer({

  initialize: function(container, application) {
    Ember.SimpleAuth.setup(container, application, {
      loginRoute: 'user.login',
      routeAfterLogin: '/user/dashboard',
      routeAfterLogout: '/user/login',
      serverTokenEndpoint: '/api/token',
    });
  }
});

The Test:

test("Visit login page", function() {
  expect(1);
  visit("/user/login");
  andThen(function() {
    ok(true);
   });
});

The problem:

The test hangs during the route transition.

Hangs right here

The test will finish if I override the init function in simple-auth and strip out the body of that function. I think maybe there is an async call in init that isn’t resolving or something?

Other than this test failing, ember-simple-auth is working as expected. All protected routes require login and the session object is being returned correctly.

FYI this is within an ember app kit project.

Since I arrived with this exact same problem, I believe I can provide more info for future visitors, even knowing that this issue has already been addressed.

Most of the actions that Ember.testing executes (like visit) will append to a promise that gets executed action after action in the right order. In order to pass to the next action, Ember.testing makes sure that there is nothing pending, so that the step can be considered complete and move forward.

Along with the things that are tested for, pending AJAX requests are verified, and also scheduled timers. These timers may arise from, you guessed it, Ember.run.later calls. If for any reason you would have in your code periodic Ember.run.later methods (so that one is always waiting to be excuted), it’s likely that you’ll face this issue.

I’ve faced it myself in a similar scenario: My server returns a OAuth access token with 100 hours until expired, so ember-simpleAuth registers a call close to the expiration time with Ember.run.later to refresh the token. This will, however, prevent the test from moving along. My specific situations has been fixed in further versions but any similar behavior will reproduce the issue (which is likely a conclusion of the current design of Ember.testing).

Hope this helps to anyone with this issue, and sorry for the wall of text.

@AlphaGit +1 I have just hotfixed it by commenting the line while testing 😃
