Testing OAuth with CasperJs

This project is a proof of concept that uses OAuth.io and CasperJs to test the OAuth flow of Linkedin functionnaly, from the end-user point of vue.

Dependencies

For the project to work, you need to install PhantomJs and CasperJs.

PhantomJs

To install PhantomJs, just get the binary from the PhantomJs download page, and link it as phantomjs in your PATH.

CasperJs

To install CasperJs, just run the following command in your console (note that CasperJs is available through npm, but is not a Nodejs module).

$ npm install -g casperjs

Other dependencies

Before running the testsuite don't forget to run :

$ npm install

Configuration

To be able to use the testsuite, you must first configure everything. The default configuration is available in the config.js file. You can override the fields in that file by creating a config.local.js file, copying the default values and changing them.

OAuth.io public app key

The first field you must configure is the public key of the OAuth.io app you are going to use to test the OAuth flow.

This app must be configured in your key-managerto contain the provider Linkedin, with the right keys and set to use the client-side flow.

Once that is done, you can copy the app's public key in your config.local.jsfile :

module.exports = {
    ...
    app_key: 'your_app_key',
    ...
};

Linkedin account credentials

Then you need to add your linkedin credentials (or those of a test account) in your config.local.js :

module.exports = {
    ...
    linkedin_account: {
        login: 'the_account_email',
        password: 'the_account_password'
    },
    ...
};

Launching the test suite

Once everything's configured, all you have to do is to launch the testsuite by running the following command in the project's folder :

$ node index.js

Don't worry if it waits for several seconds, it needs to load pages and that can take some time.

If everything worked, you should see that in the consolegi :

Test file: ./caspersuite/index.coffee                                           
# Linkedin test suite
PASS Provider authentication form appearance
PASS OAuth token retrieval

You can pass the --verbose argument to get more info about what's going on :

$ node index.js --verbose
