Test page flow for unlogged in user registering a branch

[Jonathan Lange]

Write a test to ensure that on the Code homepage, an unlogged-in user can click the "Register a branch" link, be directed to the login page, login in, and then be directed to the "Register a branch" page.

Right. Setting to High importance because untested code is broken code, and the code.launchpad.net page really should not be broken.

I've written a page test for this. Unfortunately, the test fails. After logging in, the user is directed to their main code page, rather than the branch registration page.

This is because the login redirects to the *traversed* URL, rather than the *requested* URL, and because the error is raised when processing the '+me' part of the URL.

I think the correct answer is changing the behaviour of the login redirect. However, it seems such a core part of the system, so I want to tread carefully.

The simple thing to do here is just use a different URL on the front page depending on whether or not the user logged in -- thanks jamesh
