Re: TestCase Client.login() fails

Thanks for all the responses. I actually solved the problem about 15 minutes after posting this question and indicated so in the first reply. Perhaps that reply did not go out in time? Anyway, thanks for the help!

Hello, Jonathan!

I think issue is in the fragment 'password=user.password' in the line:

> password=user.password)

'user.password' - is not plain text password, it's encrypted and it's
not equal 't3stp@s$' !
