Devise test helpers (ie. sign_in) not available in view specs

[Gordon Yeong]

Hi, guys,



I refered to https://github.com/plataformatec/devise as I'm trying
to get my view specs updated to use with Devise.
My views were written in rspec2 and the application runs on rails
3.0.9.


I have done what the reference above asks for:

1) ran 'rails generate devise:views' to set up the views. My model/
role is called 'User' (default)
2) created a new file, 'spec/support/devise.rb' and added the
following contents:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end


When I run the application ('script/rails server'),
devise does work as in, I can sign up, login and logout.

Nevertheless, When I run 'rake spec:views', I noticed that sign_in,
which is a devise test helper is not included.
What is missing?



thank you.

===============


a) I have also looked at
https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Controllers-and-Views-tests-with-Rails-3-(and-rspec)
which in the view spec:

1) requires 'spec_helper' and 'devise/test_helpers'
2) defined the let block for :user and before hook for assigning a
user object

b) Looked at https://github.com/RailsApps/rails3-devise-rspec-cucumber
which is an example of rails 3, devise , rspec and cucumber. Noticed
it did not have any view specs.

Hi,
I am stuck with same problem. Can I know how you solved this problem.

Devise test helpers are for controller specs (I can't confirm that they are compatible with view specs) and they need to be explicitly included in your specs. There is a page in the wiki with some examples for using the test helpers when testing your controllers.

I saw a lot of people linking here:

https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Controllers-tests-with-Rails-3-(and-rspec)

but I get a blank write yourself there... does anybody still know where we can find this information?

Hi,
Found a solution to run authenticated view specs

require 'spec_helper'


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

  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
