Unit tests fail with: 'AnonymousUser' object has no attribute 'token'

[Boden R]

It appears the python UT jobs are failing with:

  AttributeError: 'AnonymousUser' object has no attribute 'token'

For example the no-op patch that results in failures [1][2].

This happens in bgpvpn-dashboard test. I think some recent horizon change affects this, but I haven't checked it yet.

I think the change that causes this problem here is this bugfix in horizon: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/Ib9912090a87b716e7f5710f6f360b0df168ec2e3

[Boden R (boden)]

I don't think the fix in https://review.openstack.org/#/q/Ib9912090a87b716e7f5710f6f360b0df168ec2e3 is the solution. The patches in those reviews have merged, but the gate is still failing.
For example in: http://logs.openstack.org/periodic/git.openstack.org/openstack/networking-bgpvpn/master/openstack-tox-py35-with-neutron-lib-master/565dcb8/job-output.txt.gz

@boden: That patch removes the utils.patch_middleware_get_user() from the setUp method of APITestCase, I think that causes the problem in networking-bgpvpn tests. So that patch introduced this test failure in networking-bgpvpn.

If we simply add an import of the middleware monkeypatch ("from openstack_auth import middleware") in test_bgpvpn.py, then the tests run OK, but I don't know if that is enough. (Does this only affect the tests or do we need some fix (add the middleware?) to the bgpvpn dashboard code itself?)

[Boden R (boden)]

elod-illes I'm not familiar enough with the test/scenario to comment on the proper solution.
I do see that the no-op bgpvpn test patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/620098/ is still failing. Perhaps someone needs to check with the dashboard team (or other).

It does appear the bgpvpn master gate has been broken for awhile, so I really hope someone can work towards a solution.

Ivan proposed a solution that was merged in to horizon: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/621186/

Thanks Ivan for your fix now in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/621186/ (now merged)
It seems to be working : http://logs.openstack.org/47/610547/1/check/openstack-tox-py27/33cd903/
