Testing Rails Controller with Session -

Testing Rails Controller with Session -

in app i've got session controller. want test users controller accessible if 1 logged in.

my problem how can false session. i've tried lot hope can help me now:

the application controller:

helper_method :current_user def authenticate_user current_user if @current_user homecoming true else redirect_to(:controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new') homecoming false end end private def current_user @current_user ||= user.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id] end

the users controller has:

before_filter :authenticate_user

the controller test:

describe "get index" "assigns users @users" user = factorygirl.create(:user) @request.session[:user_id] = user.id 'users' expect(@users.size).to eq(1) end end

i've tried session[:user_id] = user.id , debugging (after request):

save_and_open_page allow me see login page. @current_user nil user.find(session[:user_id]) returns right user

try controller instead of @request:

user = factorygirl.create(:user) controller.session[:user_id] = user.id 'users' expect(@users.size).to eq(1)

also have @users variable defined in test? should expect(user.count).to eq(1)
