How to create a Unit Test Case for Dependent Role in When Rule?
I have created a When rule that has an expression using the @HaveRole function to verify that a user has a specific Role Name, so he can access a menu option.
Now, to create a test case for this is where I am facing some difficulties. To test the case, I need to understand how the method haveRole from interface PRAuthorization is retrieving the role from the list of dependent roles in the current role I am using. As, for me to write the text, I'll need to setup the correct context for the case to run and I couldn't find any mention to the dependent role in the clipboard so I could set the user correctly.
Can you direct me to the best approach for this?

@Sergio Viola The HaveRole function checks for the presence of a given role in the pxThread clipboard page. The haveRole method is part of the PRAuthorization engine API and it fetches the roles from the logged-in user's AccessGroup instance. For testing, you can create role-specific scenario tests that record interactions between your application and a user with a specific role. You can run scenario tests for all access roles that your operator includes. To set up the correct context for the test, you need to provide an Access Group that applies to the test in the AccessGroupInfo field. If you want to run a role-specific test for an access group that your operator does not include, an exception occurs. To handle the exception, add the relevant Access Group to your operator.

@MarijeSchillern Thank you for your reply. I know scenario tests are doable, but I found out that at the current time, a unit test is not possible due to how the HaveRole works and it would not be feasible to do different unit tests based on the different roles. I do however am trying different approaches to configuring the rules to make it testable.
