My problem is mocking the IP in an Rspec request spec. I want to mock a request from a remote (non-localhost) request. This is to test some route constraints.
Here is my spec so far:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe 'AdminWhitelistBlocked', type: :request do
before :each do
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before(:each, allow_rescue: true) do
Rails.application.config.action_dispatch.stub(:show_exceptions) { true }
Rails.application.config.stub(:consider_all_requests_local) { false }
end
end
end
it 'Allow local access access to the active admin area' do
get '/admin/login'
expect(request.remote_ip).to eq('0.0.0.0')
expect(request.headers['REMOTE_ADDR']).to eq('0.0.0.0')
expect(response).to have_http_status(:not_found)
end
end
I expect the remote IP to not be localhost.
Failures:
1) AdminWhitelistBlocked Allow local access access to the active admin area
Failure/Error: expect(request.remote_ip).to eq('0.0.0.0')
expected: "0.0.0.0"
got: "127.0.0.1"
(compared using ==)
UPDATE:
I have also tried setting the request's remote address beforehand:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe 'AdminWhitelistBlocked', type: :request do
before :each do
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before(:each, allow_rescue: true) do
@request.remote_addr = '0.0.0.0'
end
end
end
it 'Allow local access access to the active admin area' do
get '/admin/login'
expect(request.remote_addr).to eq('0.0.0.0')
expect(request.headers['REMOTE_ADDR']).to eq('0.0.0.0')
expect(response).to have_http_status(:not_found)
end
end
However, still no success:
Failures:
1) AdminWhitelistBlocked Allow local access access to the active admin area
Failure/Error: expect(request.remote_addr).to eq('0.0.0.0')
expected: "0.0.0.0"
got: "127.0.0.1"

expect(request.headers['REMOTE_ADDR']).to eq('127.0.0.1')
expect(response).to have_http_status(:ok)
end
end

end
it 'Allow local access access to the active admin area' do
expect { get '/admin/login' }.to raise_error(ActionController::RoutingError)
end
end
