Testing (RSpec) with Devise's confirmable module

It's my understanding that Rails' testing environment is torn down and rebuilt before each test...so how do I test a controller that requires that a user be logged in and that user can't be created without Device's confirmable module getting in the way?

Devise's recommended method (below) creates a new user which is then sent an email by Devise's confirmable module. How do I get aroun开发者_如何学Pythond this so I'm not 'creating' a user each time...or if I am I can get an object to test w/out "simulating" a new email for each spec?

 before(:each) do
    @user = Factory.create(:user)
    sign_in @user
  end

I'm sure I'm overlooking something painfully obvious as this must be a very common spec for anyone using Devise with confirmable...

In your test environment ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method should be set to :test, which means that these emails will not be sent out. If this setting is set to something else such as smtp by way of a configuration in say config/environments.rb, then emails will be sent out.

If that setting's already there, then to use the User object (as in, to be actually able to log in) you'll need to call confirm! on it:

user = User.first
user.confirm!

for latest FactoryGirl version:

FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :confirmed_user, :parent => :user do
    after(:create) { |user| user.confirm }
  end

end

If you are using factory_girl to generate your models, you can use after_create to confirm each new user.

Factory.define :confirmed_user, :parent => :user do |f|
  f.after_create { |user| user.confirm! }
end

For Devise 4.2 it's now confirm (not confirm!).

Source

4.2.0 - 2016-07-01

Remove the Devise::Models::Confirmable#confirm! method, use confirm instead.

Code below also prevents mailers from being generated thanks to after(:build) vs after(:create) for setting confirmed_at

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    after(:build)   { |u| u.skip_confirmation_notification! }
    after(:create)  { |u| u.confirm }
    ...
  end
end

Today it is just put:

confirmed_at 7.days.ago

on your fabrication

Try stubbing active?

@user = Factory.create(:user)
@user.stub(:active?).and_return(true)
sign_in @user

You might also need to stub confirmed?, I'm not too familiar with Devise.

This thread hasn't seen much traffic in a while, but for people who have this question now, all you need to do is create a trait called :confirmed that sets the required attributes, and when you use it to create a user, you will be able to log in with it without requiring multiple saves of the user db records.

  # Use faker library (installed separately) to set realistic seed data
  require 'faker'

  # Factory definition
  factory :user, do
    email { Faker::Internet.unique.email }
    password { Faker::Internet.password(min_length: 12, max_length: 128) }

    trait :confirmed do
      confirmed_at { Time.zone.now }
      confirmation_sent_at { Time.zone.now }
      confirmation_token { '12345' }
    end
  end

  # Example of using it
  user = create(:user, :confirmed)

For fabrication gem it is

Fabricator(:user) do
  after_build { |user| user.confirm! }
end
