How can I skip before_action CASClient::Frameworks::Rails::Filter?

I'm using:

gem 'rails', '5.1.7'

and

rspec (3.7.0)

I'm trying to write RSpec and I need to skip the before_action CASClient::Frameworks::Rails::Filter

I tried to do it in before(:each)

  before(:each) do
    controller.class.class_eval do
      skip_before_action CASClient::Frameworks::Rails::Filter
    end
  end

but the code gets executed many times and from 2nd time onward CASClient::Frameworks::Rails::Filter cannot be found since it will be already removed by the first test case.

I want to do it using something similar to allow(student1).to receive(:name) { 'John Smith'} but I don't know how to do it.

How can I skip the before_action?

Solution

  • According to the doc, the standard way to get around this in testing seems to be

    before do
  CASClient::Frameworks::Rails::Filter.fake('homer')
end
