Testing devise with shoulda

Question

I'm having some difficulties in testing devise with shoulda:

2) Error:
test: handle :index logged as admin should redirect to Daily page.
(Admin::DailyClosesControllerTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass
devise (1.0.6) [v] lib/devise/test_helpers.rb:52:in
`setup_controller_for_warden'

I have this in my test_helper:

include Devise::TestHelpers

Thoughts ? Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

include Devise::TestHelpers doesn't go in the test_helper.rb file, but rather inside the scope of the individual testing classes. Just like their README shows:

class ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers
end

Answer 2

I'm not sure if rspeicher is fully correct, but putting:

class ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers
end

at the very bottom of test_helper.rb (yes after the END of the class ActiveSupport::TestCase) should work. It has for 3 or 4 projects of mine so far, including one i'm working on today.

You then can use sign_in users(:one) if you are using fixtures, in your tests. Unless shoulda is messing it up?

That's different. He was just putting "include Devise::TestHelpers" in the base scope of his test_helper.rb file, not scoped inside the TestCase class. – Nessus

That is precisely what the README says to do. – Talbot

+1 for "yes after the END of the class ActiveSupport::TestCase" – Narcotize
