Not working database_cleaner with Rspec test

Question

Hello guys I'm trying to set up database_cleaner, but I can't do that and i don't know what I'm missing.

What i have up to now:

users_controller_spec

require 'rails_helper'

describe UsersController, :type => :controller do

  #user = User.create!(email: "[email protected]", password: "123456")

  user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)

  describe 'GET #show' do

    context 'User is logged in' do
      before do
        sign_in user
      end

      it 'loads correct user details' do
        get :show, id: user.id
        expect(response).to have_http_status(200)
        expect(assigns(:user)).to eq user
      end
    end

    context 'No user is logged in' do
     it 'redirects to login' do
      get :show, id: user.id
       expect(response).to redirect_to(new_user_session_path)
     end
   end

 end
end

support/database_cleaner.rb

RSpec.configure do |config|

  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
  end

  config.before(:each, :js => true) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.start
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

end

rails_helper.rb have line

config.use_transactional_fixtures = false

and uncommented line

Dir[Rails.root.join('spec/support/**/*.rb')].each { |f| require f }

Thank you for help!

Try rewriting this line to use let:

user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)

becomes

let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
