Ember-simple-auth: TransitionAborted error after call to session.requireAuthentication in acceptance test

[adc-mhaugen]

My app uses [email protected] for authorization, with a (for now) mirage backend that handles the auth request. It works fine when I run the application. Now I'm trying to test the authentication workflow in an acceptance test. I have a secure route as / with an auth check that redirects to the /login route:

export default class SecureRoute extends Route {
    @service declare session: any;

    async beforeModel(transition: Transition): Promise<void> {
        await this.session.requireAuthentication(transition, 'login');
    }
}

My test looks like this:

@suite('Acceptance | login')
export class LoginAcceptanceTest extends MirageApplicationTest {

    @test async 'validating login'(assert: Assert): Promise<void> {
        await visit('/');
        assert.equal(currentURL(), '/login');

When I debug I can see that the login route is loaded, but I get the following error:

I ran into this, too. I believe it's related to this larger issue: https://github.com/emberjs/ember-test-helpers/issues/332#issuecomment-689596427

I was able to work around it using the try/catch and check e.message solution for the one test I needed it for.
Hope this helps.

This isn't related to ESA most likely, the issue has been going on for some time like @chadian mentioned.
I've been using this workaround with success https://github.com/emberjs/ember-test-helpers/issues/332#issuecomment-414641697
