devise test integration problem

[chebyte]

hi there I have a problem, I made a simple test integration

    require File.expand_path("../../helper/test_integration_helper", __FILE__)

    class AdvisorsTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
      setup do
        @user = Factory(:user)
        sign_in(@user)
       end

       test 'shows users' do
         visit "/users"
       end
    end

the problem is when the test has the class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest the test throws

NoMethodError: undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass

but when I add the class

ActionController::TestCase, 

the test throws the same error but after add

class ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers  
end

the test works ok, but I want to use integration class cause this is an integration test

anyone knows why is this?

You can't use Devise::TestHelpers with integration testing. It is in the documentation, repeated many times here and in the mailing list. You need to sign in manually by filling up the form.

hi @josevalim I cant make sign in manually cause I'm using cas server (the db user is in another place)(https://github.com/nbudin/devise_cas_authenticatable) and this test works for me when the test class inherits from ActionController::TestCase, by the way devise has a guide for use it with caypara (https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Test-with-Capybara) as said before this way works fine if I use ActionController::TestCase I want to know why it doesnt works when inhertis from ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

[josevalim]

The guide you pointed in the wiki page uses Warden helpers, not Devise ones. Those ones would work fine with integration tests.

[chebyte]

yeap with warden helpers works fine the problem that i have is the class from inhertis the test, do you know what is this?

[chebyte]

even using warden helpers like says this guide I get

NoMethodError: undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass

if I'm using the class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

[chebyte]

ok for getting works this you have to prevent load devise helper cause this try to find @request and this is nil for capybara so you have to put in your test_helper

class ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers
end

so this way just load devise helper for controllers, so now you can use ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest for you integrations test using this guide https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Test-with-Capybara

thanks!
