How to sign in user when testing controllers with rspec

Question

I have following code

@user = FactoryGirl.create(:admin)
post :create, company: attributes_for(:company)
expect Company.count.should == 1

I can't execute post because i have authenticate user method on all controllers, how can i sign in user before that action , i am using devise.

Answer 1

You can add the following into spec/rails_helper.rb:

require 'devise'

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end

and using sign_in method before test like sign_in @user
