rspec rails 3 views authenticate

[Aashish Kiran]

Hi,

I am stuck at the following. Can anyone help.
I am writting a spec for views.

home/index_html_haml_rspec.rb

require 'spec_helper'


describe "home/index.html.haml" do
include Devise::TestHelpers

login_user



it "should display header with search form" do

render :handlers => "home/index.html.haml"
response.should contain("Hello world!" )

end
# pending "add some examples to (or delete) #{__FILE__}"
end


output:

/spec/views/home/index.html.haml_spec.rb:7:in `block in <top
(required)>': undefined local variable or method `login_user' for
#<Class:0xa07074c> (NameError)

First thing, there is a forum here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/plataformatec-devise for devise itself. and there you might get a better help for your question.

but I googled around. something I assume you have done and it seems that login_user was a helper you had to redefine yourself. which does not really exist anymore, well, at least looking at the documentation of the devise test helpers.

http://rubydoc.info/github/plataformatec/devise/master/Devise/TestHelpers

so probably you should use factory girl (https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl) to mock up a user and use the method on the documents called sign_in, something like:

@user = Factory(:user)

sign_in @user

now I also recommend you to read a little bit more about testing in rails with rspec and factory_girl:

for example to start with: http://railscasts.com/episodes/275-how-i-test

and you can also google a little bit more by yourself!

Hi,
I created macros,
the code is as follows

module ControllerMacros
def login_admin
before(:each) do
@request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:admin]
sign_in FactoryGirl.create(:admin) # Using factory girl as an
example
end
end

def login_user
before(:each) do
@request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
@current_user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
# user.confirm! # or set a confirmed_at inside the factory.
Only necessary if you are using the confirmable module
sign_in @current_user
end
end

def login_as_paid_user
before(:each) do
@request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
@current_user = FactoryGirl.create(:user, :member_paid_monthly)
# user.confirm! # or set a confirmed_at inside the factory.
Only necessary if you are using the confirmable module
sign_in @current_user
end
end
def logout!
after(:each) do
session[:user]
end
end
end


its working in controller. The problem is with only views.
