I'm testing my controller, and confirming that a logged-in user can view
the page.
I have a session_helper that does this:
def signed_in?
!current_user.nil?
end
And the current_user is set with:
def user_from_remember_token
remember_token = cookies[:remember_token]
User.find_by_remember_token(remember_token) unless remember_token.nil?
end
So in my controller, I need to fake a login somehow, how should I go about
doing this?
I'm not sure if this is the best place for it, but so far what I tried was
creating a method in my spec_helper's config block:
def test_sign_in(user)
controller.sign_in(user)
end
(I get my user object from factorygirl).
So my controller_spec looks like:
describe "index" do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory(:user)
test_sign_in(@user)
end
it "should be successful" do
get 'index'
controller.current_user.should == @user
response.should be_success
end
end
It is failing with current_user being nil.
Should I just somehow stub the call to 'user_from_remember_token' to return
the factorygirl user?
How can I do this?
