Rspec 2 config :type types

In my spec_helper.rb I have

config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller

so that I can actually test my controllers that require the user to be authenticated. However, the spec for the same class in requests nee开发者_StackOverflow社区ds to sign in as well or the tests will fail. I've tried

config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :request

but that doesn't work either. I cannot seem to find what type options I can pass into the rspec include or extend methods. I assume :model and :view would be there but the others I'm completely unsure of. What should I be using so my requests spec can pass and is there a list of the different types for :type?

This commit should help clarify the :type option.

:type => :request is valid, so I'm unsure why your tests are failing.

Which directory holds your integration tests? Typically, they're located in spec/requests or possibly spec/integration.

You can use another option to specify when to include Devise::TestHelpers; the option is :example_group:

config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :example_group => {
  :file_path => config.escaped_path(%w[spec (requests|integration)])
}

Now, Devise::TestHelpers will be included into example groups whose file is within the specified paths.

Make sure to replace the array member (requests|integration) with the folder name where your integration tests are located.

Maybe is too late, but for anyone who needs it, changing the type to :feature worked for me:

config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :feature
