I’m trying to test my registration controller (which overrides Devise’s built in controller) but when I do the following test:

test "should create user" do
    post :create, user: { email: "temp12345@email.com", first_name: @user.first_name}
    assert_redirected_to user_path(assigns(:user))
end

However, the response coming back says “You must sign up/sign in to continue” which makes no sense as I can do this manually from the browser to sign up a user.

Any ideas?

    Just had the same issue. Answer is in the devise docs:

    2) If you are testing Devise internal controllers or a controller that
    inherits from Devise’s, you need to tell Devise which mapping should
    be used before a request. This is necessary because Devise gets this
    information from router, but since functional tests do not pass
    through the router, it needs to be told explicitly. For example, if
    you are testing the user scope, simply do:

    @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
get :new
