1. Include :
group :development, :test do
gem 'factory_girl_rails'
end
in Gemfile
2. bundle install
3. create factories.rb under spec folder
4. Add the factory definitions in it :
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :user do
email 'elinora@zepho.com'
password 'welcome'
primary_paypal_email 'elinora.price@zepho.com'
end
# product factory with a belongs_to association for the user
factory :product do
name 'TDD Workbook'
price 49.99
user
thanks_page 'www.zepho.com/thanks.html'
cancel_page 'www.zepho.com/cancel.html'
sales_page 'www.zepho.com/sales_page.html'
download_page 'www.zepho.com/download.html'
end
end
In this definition I have factory for user has_many :products relationship.
5. Create a support directory and include controller_macros.rb in it:
module ControllerMacros
def login_user
@request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
# user.confirm! # or set a confirmed_at inside the factory. Only necessary if you are using the confirmable module
sign_in user
end
end
6. In spec_helper.rb add the devise helpers:
RSpec.configure do |config|
...
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
config.include ControllerMacros, :type => :controller
...
end
7. In your controller spec, now you can do this:
context 'User is logged in' do
before do
login_user
end
it 'should render index page' do
get :index
response.should be_success
end
end
