How to test after_sign_in_path_for(resource)?

Question

I have devise authentication and registration set up on my Rails app. I\'m using after_sign_in_path_for() to customise the redirect when the user signs in based

Answer 1

Oddly, I was wondering this very thing today. Here's what I came up with. I created an anonymous subclass of ApplicationController. In this anonymous subclass, I exposed the protected methods that I wanted to test as public methods. Then I tested them directly.

describe ApplicationController do
  controller do
    def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
        super resource
    end
  end

  before (:each) do
    @user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
  end

  describe "After sigin-in" do
    it "redirects to the /jobs page" do
        controller.after_sign_in_path_for(@user).should == jobs_path
    end
  end

end
