I've been fighting with this for a couple of days and there doesn't seem to be much help online. I've looked at the Typus wiki, sample app, and tests and I appear to be doing things correctly but I stil get HTTP Status Code 302 (Redirect) where I expect 200 (Success) in my tests.
Below are what should be the appropriate files (with irrelevant stuff removed)
config/initializers/typus.rb (rails g typus:migration has been run as I have an admin_users table):
Typus.setup do |config|
# Application name.
config.admin_title = "Something"
# config.admin_sub_title = ""
# When mailer_sender is set, password recover is enabled. This email
# address will be used in Admin::Mailer.
config.mailer_sender = "[email protected]"
# Define paperclip attachment styles.
# config.file_preview = :medium
# config.file_thumbnail = :thumb
# Authentication: +:none+, +:http_basic+
# Run `rails g typus:migration` if you need an advanced authentication system.
config.authentication = :session
# Define user_class_name.
config.user_class_name = "AdminUser"
# Define user_fk.
config.user_fk = "admin_user_id"
# Define master_role.
config.master_role = "admin"
end
config/typus/admin_user.yml
AdminUser:
fields:
default: first_name, last_name, role, email, locale
list: email, role, status
form: first_name, last_name, role, email, password, password_confirmation, locale
options:
selectors: role, locale
booleans:
status: Active, Inactive
filters: status, role
search: first_name, last_name, email
application: Admin
description: Users Administration
test/factories/admin_users.rb:
Factory.define :admin_user do |u|
u.first_name 'Admin'
u.last_name 'User'
u.email '[email protected]'
u.role 'admin'
u.password 'password!'
u.token '1A2B3C4D5E6F'
u.status true
u.locale 'en'
end
test/functional/admin/credits_controller_test.rb:
require 'test_helper'
class Admin::CreditsControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
setup do
@admin_user = Factory(:admin_user)
@request.session[:admin_user_id] = @admin_user.id
@request.env['HTTP_REFERER'] = '/admin/credits/new'
end
context "new" do
should "be successful" do
get :new
assert_response :success
end
end
end
@response.body:
<html>
<body>You are being <a href="http://test.host/admin/session/new?back_to=%2Fadmin%2Fcredits%2Fnew">redirected</a>.
</body>
</html>
As you can see, I've set up the typus to use admin_user and admin_user_id for the session key. But for some reason that test fails getting 302 rather than 200. I'm sure this is because I'm doing something wrong that I just don't see. I've also created all these a gist, just in case someone prefers that.

I figured this out. It was a problem with the config/typus/admin_roles.yml file.
Before:
admin:
Category: create, read, update
Credit: read
...
After:
admin:
Category: create, read, update
Credit: read, create
...
The problem was that admin users didn't have access to the CREATE action on the admin/credits_controller which resulted in the user being sent back to the admin login address.
Giving admin users access to the action and changing the
@session[:admin_user_id]
to
@session[:typus_user_id] #Just like in the Typus docs
solved the problem. I had changed it to :admin_user_id because of the
config.user_fk = "admin_user_id"
in the typus config files, while trying to troubleshoot this issue.
