Rails rspec set subdomain

Question

I am using rSpec for testing my application. In my application controller I have a method like so:

def set_current_account
  @current_account ||= Account.fi

I know this is a relatively old question, but I've found that this depends on what kind of test you're running. I'm also running Rails 4 and RSpec 3.2, so I'm sure some things have changed since this question was asked.

Request Specs

before { host! "#{mock_subdomain}.example.com" }

Feature Specs with Capybara

before { Capybara.default_host = "http://#{mock_subdomain}.example.com" }
after  { Capybara.default_host = "http://www.example.com" }

I usually create modules in spec/support that look something like this:

# spec/support/feature_subdomain_helpers.rb
module FeatureSubdomainHelpers
  # Sets Capybara to use a given subdomain.
  def within_subdomain(subdomain)
    before { Capybara.default_host = "http://#{subdomain}.example.com" }
    after  { Capybara.default_host = "http://www.example.com" }
    yield
  end
end

# spec/support/request_subdomain_helpers.rb
module RequestSubdomainHelpers
  # Sets host to use a given subdomain.
  def within_subdomain(subdomain)
    before { host! "#{subdomain}.example.com" }
    after  { host! "www.example.com" }
    yield
  end
end

Include in spec/rails_helper.rb:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # ...

  # Extensions
  config.extend FeatureSubdomainHelpers, type: :feature
  config.extend RequestSubdomainHelpers, type: :request
end

Then you can call within your spec like so:

feature 'Admin signs in' do
  given!(:admin) { FactoryGirl.create(:user, :admin) }

  within_subdomain :admin do
    scenario 'with valid credentials' do
      # ...
    end

    scenario 'with invalid password' do
      # ...
    end
  end
end
