WebTestCase::loginAs() not working

[lukepass]

Hello, I followed the guide to authenticate using WebTestCase::loginAs() but it's not working and it's redirecting me to the login page.

This is my config_test.yml:

imports:
    - { resource: config_dev.yml }

framework:
    test: ~
    session:
        # handler_id set to null will use default session handler from php.ini
        handler_id:  ~
        storage_id: session.storage.mock_file
        name: MOCKSESSID
    profiler:
        collect: false

web_profiler:
    toolbar: false
    intercept_redirects: false

swiftmailer:
    disable_delivery: true

liip_functional_test:
    cache_db:
        sqlite: liip_functional_test.services_database_backup.sqlite

doctrine:
    dbal:
        default_connection: default
        connections:
            default:
                driver:   pdo_sqlite
                path:     "%kernel.cache_dir%/test.db"
security:
    firewalls:
        main:
            http_basic: ~

And this is the test:

class DivisionControllerTest extends FixtureWebTestCase
{
    public function testDivisionList()
    {
        $this->loginAs($this->fixtures->getReference('admin-user'), 'main');
        $client = $this->makeClient();

        $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/teachers/divisions/list');

        // successful
        $this->isSuccessful($client->getResponse());

        // more than 1 division
        $this->assertGreaterThan(
            1,
            $crawler->filter('tr')->count()
        );
    }
}

And this is the log:

[2019-01-16 12:49:32] request.INFO: Matched route "teacher_division_list". {"route":"teacher_division_list","route_parameters":{"orderBy":"name","_controller":"AppBundle\\Controller\\DivisionController::listAction","_route":"teacher_division_list"},"request_uri":"http://localhost/teachers/divisions/list","method":"GET"} []

Hello, any news on this subject? Thanks!

[Alexis Lefebvre]

No, sorry, is the problem still here with the 3.x branch?

[ElNelyo]

Got same problem here ..
We got 302 redirection (due to Access Denied)

[Matthias Althaus]

Is it working for you if you follow the redirect?

$client->followRedirects();

I just got into the same issue. With auto-follow the client goes to the login page, gets authenticated and redirected back. So the tests succeeds, but this feels weird.
