Using login_user with Sorcery gem on Rails 5.2
2018-08-29
TechProblem
Sorcery's Testing-Rails guide is based on Rails4 and does not work with Rails5.2.
With include Sorcery::TestHelpers::Rails::Integration, I got:
TasksControllerTest#test_should_get_index:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `page' for #<TasksControllerTest:0x00007fff19df4a10>
test/controllers/tasks_controller_test.rb:7:in `block in <class:TasksControllerTest>'
With include Sorcery::TestHelpers::Rails::Controller:
TasksControllerTest#test_should_get_index:
NoMethodError: undefined method `auto_login' for nil:NilClass
Did you mean? autoload
test/controllers/tasks_controller_test.rb:7:in `block in <class:TasksControllerTest>'
Solution
As mentioned here, add this to test/test_helper.rb (you don't need to include Sorcery::TestHelpers::XX).
# test/test_helper.rb
class ActiveSupport::TestCase
# ...
def login_user(user, password='passw0rd')
user = users(:one)
post user_sessions_url, params: {email: user.email, password: password}
follow_redirect!
end
end
The password is set to the user fixture like this.
# test/fixtures/users.yml
one:
email: a@b.cd
salt: <%= salt = "abcd1234abcd1234" %>
crypted_password: <%= Sorcery::CryptoProviders::BCrypt.encrypt("passw0rd", salt) %>
