I'm adding more controllers to the admin section of the Padrino but I can't workout how to stub the current user or a session with Factory Girl or Mocha.
What is a good way for testing controller actions that need a current session?
Caveat: I've not used Padrino, and you've not given any code you've tried, so this is quite general and vague.
Don't stub the session, instead use a testing framework like Capybara that sets up a cookie jar for you. Use an RSpec shared_context with before
and after
blocks that run the login.
I don't remember the exact syntax for Capybara and I'll leave you to look it up, but it would be something like this:
shared_context "When logged in" do
before do
visit "/login"
fill_in "username", user.name
fill_in "password", user.password
click "login!"
end
after do
# log out…
end
end
describe "Something that you need to be logged in for" do
let(:user) { OpenStruct.new({name: "blah", password: "blurgh" }) }
include "When logged in"
before do
visit "/only/authenticated/see/this"
end
subject { page }
it { should be_ok }
it { #… }
end
Using Rack::Test
, look at this answer
Here are the authentication helpers , so you should stub logged_in?
to return true
and current_account
to return the user double (whether that's from FactoryGirl or a let
or wherever). That way your app won't ask for the information from session.
This solution seem to work
def set_current_user(user)
ApplicationController.stub(:current_user).and_return(user)
session[:identity_id] = user.id
end
