[Rails] Re: rspec rails 3 views authenticate

First thing, there is a forum here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/plataformatec-devise for devise itself. and there you might get a better help for your question.

but I googled around. something I assume you have done and it seems that login_user was a helper you had to redefine yourself. which does not really exist anymore, well, at least looking at the documentation of the devise test helpers.

http://rubydoc.info/github/plataformatec/devise/master/Devise/TestHelpers

so probably you should use factory girl (https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl) to mock up a user and use the method on the documents called sign_in, something like:

@user = Factory(:user)

sign_in @user

now I also recommend you to read a little bit more about testing in rails with rspec and factory_girl:

for example to start with: http://railscasts.com/episodes/275-how-i-test

and you can also google a little bit more by yourself!

Hi,

I am stuck at the following. Can anyone help.
I am writting a spec for views.

home/index_html_haml_rspec.rb

require 'spec_helper'


describe "home/index.html.haml" do
  include Devise::TestHelpers

  login_user



  it "should display header with search form" do

    render :handlers => "home/index.html.haml"
    response.should contain("Hello world!" )

  end
  #  pending "add some examples to (or delete) #{__FILE__}"
end
