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

I found this answer through Google recently and thought I would add my solution. I didn't like the accepted answer because it was testing the return value of a method on the application controller vs testing the desired behavior of the app.

I ended up just testing the call to create a new sessions as a request spec.

RSpec.describe "Sessions", type: :request do
    it "redirects to the internal home page" do
        user = FactoryBot.create(:user, password: 'password 123', password_confirmation: 'password 123')
        post user_session_path, params: {user: {email: user.email, password: 'password 123'}}
        expect(response).to redirect_to(internal_home_index_path)
    end
end
