Question

I have integrated rails application with omniauth and devise integration. In one the controller I have –

def create
     # some 
     # stuff 
     # here
   sign_in_and_redirect(:person, @person)
     # some 
     # stuff 
     # here
 end 

as this action is from devise, i shouldn’t be testing this action but only presence of it(correct me here if i am wrong.). Also, as I am mocking this person object, it doesn’t have methods to pass origin sign_in_and_redirect action.

So, how can test this controller ?

UPDATE

I tried this in my before do block –

controller.stub!(:sign_in_and_redirect).and_return(true)

But this give me error as – Missing templace authentications/create
I don’t have any create.html.erb, as it redirects in normal workflow.

Finally I found that it has to do with devise.

This solved issues – devise wiki – How To: Controllers and Views tests with Rails 3 (and rspec)

I had to include support/devise.rb file and below lines –

RSpec.configure do |config|
   config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end

After that I just added required methods to person class by stubbing it and it worked.
