I'm trying to check if an administrator is signed out in an Rspec test. However the usual signed_in? method can't be seen from rspec and isn't part of the RSpec Devise Helpers.
Something like this is what i have in place
before (:each) do
@admin = FactoryGirl.create(:administrator)
sign_in @admin
end
it "should allow the admin to sign out" do
sign_out @admin
#@admin.should be_nil
#@admin.signed_in?.should be_false
administrator_signed_in?.should be_false
end
Is there anothe way to check the session of the administrator and see if he's actually signed in or not?
I think it's really what you need How To: Test controllers with Rails 3 and 4 (and RSpec)
Just check current_user
. It should be nil
Add. Good practice is using syntax like this
-> { sign_out @admin }.should change { current_user }.from(@admin).to(nil)
it "should have a current_user" do
subject.current_user.should_not be_nil
end
Not a new answer, really, but my rep isn't high enough to comment...:
If you've already overridden subject
, the controller is available as controller
in controller specs, so:
expect { ... }.to change { controller.current_user }.to nil
To check for a specific user, say generated by FactoryGirl, we've had good success with:
let(:user) do FactoryGirl.create(:client) ; end ... it 'signs them in' do expect { whatever }.to change { controller.current_user }.to user end it 'signs them out' do expect { whatever }.to change { controller.current_user }.to nil end
it "signs user in and out" do user = User.create!(email: "user@example.org", password: "very-secret") sign_in user expect(controller.current_user).to eq(user) sign_out user expect(controller.current_user).to be_nil end
