The site is working perfect but I've got an error when I run “bundle exec rake test”

Question

I've already added my app a support button for microposts and if the user supports the micropost the button changes to "Not Support". Everything is working perfect in localhost but when I run "bundle exec rake test", I have an error.

Error

 $ bundle exec rake test
  1) Error:

You do hot have authenticated user in tests by default, so current_user return nil . Same error may happen in production, if user somehow visits that page without logging-in before.

If you are using devise for auth - see devise wiki on test helper

class SomeControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers

  def setup
    @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
    sign_in FactoryGirl.create(:user) # or other method of making/getting test user
  end
end
