Rails - Losing session with Integration Tests and Capybara - CSRF related?

Question

I\'m using Rails 3.1.0.rc4 and I\'m working on doing integration tests with capybara\'s new Steak-like DSL and Rspec (using Devise authentication)

The issue I\'m hav

Answer 1

The manual way of doing it is very simple:

it "does something after login" do
  password = "secretpass"
  user = Factory(:user, :password => password)
  visit login_path
  fill_in "Email", :with => user.email
  fill_in "Password", :with => password
  click_button "Log in"
  visit # somewhere else and do something
end

You can then break this out into a function in your 'spec_helper.rb':

# at the bottom of 'spec_helper.rb'
def make_user_and_login
  password = "secretpass"
  @user = Factory(:user, :password => password)
  visit login_path
  fill_in "Email", :with => @user.email
  fill_in "Password", :with => password
  click_button "Log in"
end

and use it in any of your tests (probably request specs):

it "does something after login" do
  make_user_and_login
  # now test something that requires a logged in user
  # you have access to the @user instance variable
end
