I have a really old Rails 2.3.18, ruby 1.9.3, an rspec 1.x application that we are updating, and it had a quiet authentication. So I replaced it with Devise 1.0.11.
I can enter the application, but my tests will not run;
Here is the example in question
require 'spec_helper'
describe CategoriesController do
context "As a logged in user" do
before do
login_user
current_firm = mock_model(Firm, :id => 1)
controller.stub!(:current_firm).and_return(current_firm)
end
describe "#index" do
it "should render index" do
get :index
response.should render_template('index')
end
end
end
end
Here is the error I get:
NoMethodError in 'CategoriesController As a logged in user#index should render index'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]=
/home/map7/code/pdfcat/spec/spec_helper.rb:18:in `login_user'
spec/controllers/categories_controller_spec.rb:6:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
Error in this line;
[20, 29] in /usr/local/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p551/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/warden-0.10.7/lib/warden/session_serializer.rb
20 key
21 end
22
23 def store(user, scope)
24 return unless user
=> 25 session[key_for(scope)] = serialize(user)
26 end
The problem is that "session" is zero when I am at this point.
I clicked the full code here: https://github.com/map7/pdfcat/tree/devise
My plan was to get devise to work in tests, then I could go to Rails 3.0 and continue with the upgrade.
