Test cases failing

[mohakjuneja1]

def current_user
@current_user ||= User.find_by(auth_token: request.headers['Authorization'])
end

when i check, request.headers['Authorization'] equals null and all my test cases fail. What am I doing wrong?

Do you have everything setup on the spec_helper.rb file?:

  config.include Request::JsonHelpers, :type => :controller
  config.include Request::HeadersHelpers, :type => :controller
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller

Yes I included all of them. Can you take a look at my repository and tell what i'm doing wrong? Here's the link- https://github.com/Mohakjuneja/FatBoy

I'd be really grateful. Thanks!

Hey! Thank you for your support. All the test cases are passing except two.
I have pushed your recommended changes to my repository (link up there) except the change in user.rb because I end up failing more test cases.
I also moved the authenticate_with_token! method back to users controller

Can you take a look at these?

in sessions_controller_specs, on line47, @user = FactoryGirl.create :user has attribute auth_token = nil. How will find the user with a nil auth_token?

1. Api::V1::SessionsController DELETE #destroy
   Failure/Error: delete :destroy, id: @user.auth_token
   ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
   No route matches {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"api/v1/sessions", :id=>nil}

   ./spec/controllers/api/v1/sessions_controller_spec.rb:50:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Devise.stub(:friendly_tokenn)and_return("auniquetoken123") returns nil
@user.generate_authentication_token! equals nil

2. User#generate_authentication_token! generates a unique token
   Failure/Error: expect { @user.generate_authentication_token! }.to change{@user.auth_token}.from(nil).to("auniquetoken123")
   result should have been changed to "auniquetoken123", but is now nil

   ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:21:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Thank you again!

The thing in here is that you need to have a auth_token for each user and in the first case, it seems that it does not have one. A good idea would be to put it on the users.rb factory file:

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    email { FFaker::Internet.email}
    password "12345678"
    password_confirmation "12345678"
    auth_token { Devise.friendly_token }
  end
end

On the second one I think you have to specify the self to refer to the instance when trying to assign the auth_token, something like:

  def generate_authentication_token!
    loop do
      self.auth_token = Devise.friendly_token
      break auth_token unless User.where(auth_token: auth_token).first
    end
  end

Ruby may not know wheter you are refering to a variable or the attribute, and in this case is to a variable I think.
