How do I set HTTP_REFERER when testing in Rails?

Question

I\'m trying to test a controller and I got this error. I understand the error, but don\'t know how to fix it.

test: on CREATE to :user with completely invali         


        

Answer 1

setup do
  @request.env['HTTP_REFERER'] = 'http://test.com/sessions/new'
  post :create, { :user => { :email => 'invalid@abc' } }
end

In Rails 2.2.2, the above block never ran actual test. Saying that

post :create, { :user => { :email => 'invalid@abc' } }

line did not run. You can simply get rid of setup block and use

@request.env['HTTP_REFERER'] = 'http://test.com/sessions/new'
post :create, { :user => { :email => 'invalid@abc' } }

instead. And it should set the referer
