In any Rails app I am building I always find myself +having to add user authentication into it. Luckily this is done really simple by the wonderful +Devise gem.
+It becomes a bit of a pain to integrate into the test suite though. I usually use RSpec +in my tests. Though a conversation with Barry Gordon has got me thinking that +maybe I should move to minitest (more on this at a later date).
+After adding in devise a few times I've come up with a quick way of getting your request specs up and running +fairly quickly:
++spec/rails_helper.rb +
+Dir[Rails.root.join('spec/support/**/*.rb')].each { |f| require f }
+# ...
+
+RSpec.configure do |config|
+# ...
+ config.include RequestSpecHelper, type: :request
+end
+
+
++config/routes +
+ root to: 'home#index' + authenticated do + root to: 'authenticated#index', as: :authenticated_root + end ++ +spec/requests/sessions_spec.rb +
+require 'rails_helper' + +RSpec.describe 'Sessions' do + + it 'signs user in and out' do + user = User.create!(email: 'foo@barr.baz', password: 'secret') + user.save + + sign_in user + get authenticated_root_path + expect(controller.current_user).to eq(user) + + sign_out user + get authenticated_root_path + expect(controller.current_user).to be_nil + end + +end ++ +spec/support/request_spec_helper.rb +
+
+ module RequestSpecHelper
+
+ include Warden::Test::Helpers
+
+ def self.included(base)
+ base.before(:each) { Warden.test_mode! }
+ base.after(:each) { Warden.test_reset! }
+ end
+
+ def sign_in(resource)
+ login_as(resource, scope: warden_scope(resource))
+ end
+
+ def sign_out(resource)
+ logout(warden_scope(resource))
+ end
+
+ private
+
+ def warden_scope(resource)
+ resource.class.name.underscore.to_sym
+ end
+
+ end
+
+
+
+spec/requests/whatever.rb
++
+ require 'rails_helper'
+
+ RSpec.describe 'MyMoods', type: :request do
+ scenario 'GET /my_moods?start_date=2018-08-09' do
+ user = User.create!(email: 'u@e.org', password: 'foo')
+ sign_in user
+ visit '/'
+ expect(page).to have_content('My Moods')
+ end
+ end
+
