performance testing

[Josh]

I posted earlier on stackoverflow but there is very little traffic on
this subject: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4653788/performance-testing-with-devise-authentication

So I thought I would re-ask the question here:

How can I run performance tests with devise (functional tests are
working). Using the Devise docs I have this in my test_helper.rb

class ActionController::TestCase
include Devise::TestHelpers
end

From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4577737/functional-testing-with-rails-and-devise-what-to-put-in-my-fixtures,
I have this in my performance test:

require 'test_helper'
require 'rails/performance_test_help'

class EditorTest < ActionDispatch::PerformanceTest

def test_create

@user = users(:one)
sign_in @user

get 'documents/new/1'
end

end

I get the following error

NoMethodError: undefined method `sign_in' for #<EditorTest:
0xb6bc0654 ...>
/test/performance/editor_test.rb:9:in `test_create'

How do I properly include the Devise TestHelpers in a performance
test?

Thank you!

Just include Devise::TestHelpers inside your EditorsTest and give it a try, although I'm not sure it'll work (have never tried).

To include in all performance tests:

class ActionDispatch::PerformanceTest
 include Devise::TestHelpers
end

Both suggestions result in:

NoMethodError: undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass

Has this worked for you in the past?

end of the stack trace when i run this using ruby -d as opposed to
rake test:benchmark :

Nope, I wasn't expecting this to work, I haven't been using Rails performance tests for some time.

You'd have to take a look at how Devise setups TestHelpers within functional tests, and the differences between functional and performance setups in Rails, to see what you have to change to make it work on performance tests. I'm sorry but I can't help you on this from now.

[Josh]

Thanks anyway! I'd like to be able run performance tests on the app so
I will keep looking (although I'm going on 3 hours here :-).

I think PerformanceTest rather inherit from IntegrationTest than
AC::TestCase. That said, you should not use Devise::TestHelpers. You
need to sign in like you would in an integration test (i.e. filling in
the form). Please try this approach!

[Josh]

Thank you José!!!

Any reason why there isn't a test helper for PerformanceTest? On the
to-do list or is it by design?
