Why is my RSpec not loading Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers?
I'm using Rails 5, and Devise 3.5.1.
Going through a nice (older) book about creating/testing an API, which uses Devise authentication. It was written before Rails 5, so I chose not to use the new api-only version.
Here's my test...
#/spec/controllers/api/v1/users_controller_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
describe Api::V1::UsersController, :type => :controller do
before(:each) { request.headers['Accept'] = "application/vnd.marketplace.v1" }
describe "GET #show" do
before(:each) do
@user = FactoryGirl.create :user
get :show, params: {id: @user.id}, format: :json
end
it "returns the information about a reporter on a hash" do
user_response = JSON.parse(response.body, symbolize_names: true)
expect(user_response[:email]).to eql @user.email
end
it { should respond_with 200 }
end
end
And here's a completely unexpected RSpec error
Devise::MissingWarden:
Devise could not find the `Warden::Proxy` instance on your request environment.
Make sure that your application is loading Devise and Warden as expected and that the `Warden::Manager` middleware is present in your middleware stack.
If you are seeing this on one of your tests, ensure that your tests are either executing the Rails middleware stack or that your tests are using the `Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers` module to inject the `request.env['warden']` object for you.
So I go here - http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/devise/Devise/Test/ControllerHelpers
and tried this -> include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers
which didn't help because the file controller_helpers.rb
is nowhere in my project
What did I miss here?
Thanks
Solution 1:
You could add the following to your rails_helper
:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers, type: :controller
end
This will include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers
module in all :controller
specs.
Solution 2:
In the spec_helper.rb
add:
config.include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers, :type => :controller
Solution 3:
MiniTest, Rails 4
This works for vanilla Rails 4 MiniTest
test\controllers\users_controller_test.rb
require 'test_helper'
class UsersControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
include Warden::Test::Helpers
include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers
setup do
# https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Test-with-Capybara
# @user = users(:admin)
# sign_in @user
end
teardown do
Warden.test_reset!
end
test "login as admin" do
@user = users :admin
sign_in @user
get :dashboard
assert_redirected_to admin_dashboard_path
end
end
