Devise + Rspec error : serialize_into_session

[GlennRob]

Hi,

Im trying to get Rspec to play nice with devise, but getting this
error;

undefined method `serialize_into_session' for Symbol:Class

...devise-0.8.2/lib/devise/test_helpers.rb:69 :in `sign_in'

67 scope ||= Devise::Mapping.find_scope!(resource_or_scope)
68 resource ||= resource_or_scope
69 session["warden.user.#{scope}.key"] =
resource.class.serialize_into_session(resource)

My spec looks like this;

describe OrganizationsController do
include Devise::TestHelpers

before :each do
sign_in :user, @user
end
...

Any ideas?

Glenn

Are you sure @user is not nil?

Yep. That was the issue.

Got past that and now hit this error, which I assume is due to the :authenticatable strategy I'm using in the User model..

uncaught throw `warden'

...devise-0.8.2/lib/devise/hooks/activatable.rb:15 :in `throw'

...

13      warden.winning_strategy.fail!(record.inactive_message)
14    else
15      throw :warden, :scope => scope, :message => record.inactive_message
16    end
17  end

Is it possible to stub out this behaviour in Rspec ? E.g.

  user.stub!(:active?).and_return true  

(that doesnt seem to work though)

Just confirm your user after creating it:

@user.confirm!

Ah yes. I was hunting for that method as you sent the mail. Too easy :-)

Thanks for your help.
