Don’t forget that not everyone is coding for professional reasons. Also automated tests are not the only form of testing. So even with automated tests being a useful tool they’re by no means generally required.

To answer the question though: Yes phoenix cannot automatically adjust tests to take authentication into account, given it has no idea about what content should require authentication or not. Therefore adjusting the automatically generated tests for those additional concerns is required.

Maybe, I don’t understand what are you asking.

If you don’t want to write test, you can avoid to run mix test.
The failing tests that you are showing have a pretty clear error message and should be easy to fix them in you want.

Try to explain better your problem. Thank you.

Working code is optional, getting paid is the important part :joy: .

I didn’t intend to discredit it, sorry if it sounded that way.


And, as I work for a telecom nowadays I get it that not everything can be neatly put into automated tests indeed. Or stuff like Nerves[-like] environments where you actually have to send physical signals – another valid use-case.

So yeah I don’t disagree with you either, it’s just that I’d always default to automated tests if the environment allows for it. If for no any other reason than this one: from one point and on I want to progress and automated tests give you confidence that you at least didn’t break what was working before.
