login_as with rspec fails first test

Question

Following instructions from that Devise How-To page I\'m trying to rebuild all my rspec test to bypass user signin process.

There are 2 methods that can be used for that

Answer 1

I would try moving your before(:all) and after(:all) code into the before(:each) and after(:each). :all doesn't play well with let, DatabaseCleaner or in giving you a predictable order of execution for the first test executed.
