[Rails] Re: DRY in rspec tests

You can include helper modules in your spec_helper file:

RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include MySpec::SessionsHelper, :type => :controller,
:example_group => {
:file_path => config.escaped_path(%w[spec controllers])
}
end

This will include the MySpec::SessionsHelper in all of your controller
tests automatically. Then you just have to define your module in the
spec/support folder (which should be loaded by RSpec automatically if
you're using the RSpec generated spec_helper file.)

# spec/support/sessions_helper.rb
module MySpec
module SessionsHelper
def authenticate ...
def logout ...
end
end
