Question

I’ve followed the recommendation from the Devise github pages for this:

http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Redirect-to-a-specific-page-on-successful-sign-in

Now this works great, but how would you test that you have this behavior now?

Answer 1

Well there are two ways of testing it one in the unit level by writing tests in the controllers that inherit the application controller. The code will look something like

it "should redirect to page_x after logged in" do
  sign_in :user_role, @user 
  set_devise_mapping(:user_role) 
  get :new 
  response.should redirect_to(user_roles_dashboard_path) 
end

For cucumber you should probably write a step to do the login and assert if u are on the expected after sign_in page.
