Rails + SAML + RSpec + Capybara Testing

Question

I have a rails 5 app that uses omniauth-saml for authentication. For feature testing with capybara and rspec I currently bypass the saml auth flow but am looking for a better solution that exercises at least some of the saml auth flow without actually hitting our SAML endpoints.

I was thinking perhaps stubbing the methods or perhaps using webmock .

Has any found a solution they love?

Answer 1

You might be able to use OneLogin's SAML Test Connector to set up a fake SAML IDP.

This would make your tests reliant on network connectivity, but would be a more complete test than stubbing out the method calls.

I think Webmock might be a good solution too, although that would require more setup on your end.
