You know Show archive.org snapshot that Devise offers RSpec test helpers for controller specs. However, in request specs, they will not work.
Here is a solution for request specs, adapted from the Devise wiki Show archive.org snapshot . We will simply use Warden's test helpers -- you probably already load them for your Cucumber tests.
First, we define sign_in and sign_out methods. These will behave just like those you know from controller specs:
module DeviseRequestSpecHelpers
include Warden::Test::Helpers
def sign_in(resource_or_scope, resource = nil)
resource ||= resource_or_scope
scope = Devise::Mapping.find_scope!(resource_or_scope)
login_as(resource, scope: scope)
end
def sign_out(resource_or_scope)
scope = Devise::Mapping.find_scope!(resource_or_scope)
logout(scope)
end
end
Finally, load that module for request specs:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include DeviseRequestSpecHelpers, type: :request
end
Done. You can now write request specs like this:
sign_in create(:user, name: 'John Doe')
visit root_path
expect(page).to include('John Doe')
