I have started rspec coding recently and i am new to rails framework, rspec fails where i am using 'current_user' in controller. Please check below for my controller and rspec code. Thanks in advance.
Controller code:
def task
@tasks = current_user.alerts.where(kind: "TASK")
end
rspec code:
describe "get #task" do
it "assigns a task" do
sign_in(@user)
get :task
expect(response).to have_http_status(200)
end
You can do it like this:
@request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
user = FactoryGirl.create(:user) # Don't forget to create a factory for user
user.confirm! # or set a confirmed_at inside the factory. Only necessary if you are using the "confirmable" module
sign_in user
It is better to put it in support/devise.rb:
module ControllerMacros
def login_user
before(:each) do
@request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
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 user
end
end
end
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
config.extend ControllerMacros, :type => :controller
end
you can say login_user instead of sign_in(@user)
