Rspec controller tests

[caulfield]

Hi.
I'm using pundit(0.2.1) with rspec-rails(~2.14) in my rails 4 projects

It's great to use it with policy and view specs. But I confuse with controller and feature(capybara 2) types

When running tests I got errors:
undefined method 'authorize' for #<ArticlesController:0xb9b39fc>
# ./app/controllers/articles_controller.rb:6:in 'show'
# ./spec/features/authentication_spec.rb:6:in 'block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
The same thing with my capybara feature.

But it works in development mode.

I found interesting hook that fixes controller group problem only. But I don't like it

# spec_helper.rb
config.before do
  if defined?(controller)
    controller.extend Pundit
  end
end

Thanks for any help and ideas

Could you by chance have missed the include Pundit the Readme suggests to place in your ApplicationController?

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include Pundit
end

I included the module of course.

Main idea that all works good in development mode(when clicking).

I can't think of any reason Pundit would be included in your dev environment, and not in test, aside from maybe weird load-order/autoloading stuff? We don't really do anything fancy with module in Pundit, just plain old Ruby, so I don't think there is anything we can or should do about this.
