RSpec, Rails 6 and Devise - ruby-on-rails

Currently have a Rails 6 project with Devise. Trying to build some RSpec tests (I'm just learning RSpec). The user authentication seems to be causing this problem. This error occurs when running the RSPec test for a view.
Failure/Error: <%= form.hidden_field :user_id, :value => current_user.id%>
ActionView::Template::Error:
Devise could not find the `Warden::Proxy` instance on your request environment.
Make sure that your application is loading Devise and Warden as expected and that the `Warden::Manager` middleware is present in your middleware stack.
If you are seeing this on one of your tests, ensure that your tests are either executing the Rails middleware stack or that your tests are using the `Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers` module to inject the `request.env['warden']` object for you.

I've searched for solutions and incorporate suggestions such as adding
config.include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers, type: :controller
and require 'spec_helper' to my rails_helper.rb file but no change. Most of the suggestions seemed to be for earlier versions of Rails. I'll keep looking at docs but if anyone has run into this please let me know.

capybara have_title NoMethodError

At the moment, this is a simple project - just a couple of static pages. I'm developing a generic test framework but am struggling to differentiate between the different test options. I have added Rspec, Capybara, Faker, Factory Girl, Spring, and shoulda (though I'm not using the shoulda matchers at the moment).
I have this controller test file:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe StaticPagesController, type: :controller do
describe "GET #a_page" do
before(:each) { get :a_page }
it "returns http success" do
expect(response).to have_http_status(:success)
end
it "has a page title Static Site" do
expect(response).to have_title('Static Site')
end
end
end
When this runs through guard, it throws an error stack:
23:13:39 - INFO - Run all
23:13:39 - INFO - Running all specs

The first test runs OK and, without the second, I get a clean result. I've spent a lot of time going over my config and it looks OK. I have also looked at the docs and some support sites.
Can anybody help out?
Capybara matchers need to be called against a html/xml document element (or a string that parses into a document), not against a response object. By default Capybaras matchers are normally only available in feature and view specs (not controller) was there a particular reason you included them into controller specs? Verifying a pages title really should lean more towards being a view spec than controller (by default views aren't rendered in controller specs - https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/controller-specs).
As #Thomas Walpole pointed out, Capybara is not enabled in controller specs by default. One option is to change the type of the test to feature (type: :feature).
To make Capybara's built-in matcher have_title work, you need to use visit from Capybara's API, not get from ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest.

View specs have no render method

I’m trying to write some view specs that test some template logic. I’m following the instructions in the RSpec book, and also checking other online references. I don’t seem to have access to render or assign.
require "spec_helper"
describe "projects/index.html.erb" do
it "displays an entry for each project" do
projects = 5.times { FactoryGirl.create :project }
render
expect(all(".project-index-entry").count).to eq 5
end
end
When I run the above, I get:
Failure/Error: render
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `render' for #<RSpec::ExampleGroups::ProjectsIndexHtmlErb:0x007fa2950d4140>
# ./spec/views/projects/index.html.erb_spec.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
The same thing happens if I try to use assign. I know I could use visit, but then I would have to simulate the act of the user signing in before each spec. I may be misunderstood, but I think the render method is meant to be more isolated, allowing me to skip the authentication check I have in the controller.
So, why don’t I have the view spec methods I was expecting?
Versions:
- capybara 2.4.1
- rails 4.1.0
- rspec-core 3.1.3
- rspec-expectations 3.1.1
- rspec-mocks 3.1.0
- rspec-rails 3.1.0
As it turns out, I updated rspec some time ago and the previous version used a significantly different spec_helper. After the update, the logic was split into spec_helper and rails_helper, so to fix this problem I had to rerun rails generate rspec:install.

How To Use Spree Route Helpers in RSpec

I am trying to use the Spree 2.3 route helpers in Rspec 3.0. In the main app, I can access them by prefixing spree., like so:
spree.admin_login_path => 'spree/admin/user_sessions#new'
However I can't seem to access them in Rspec.
#rspec error
undefined local variable or method `spree_admin_login_path'
I've found reference to including the helpers in the rails_helper file, but this throws an error
# app/spec/rails_helper.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Spree::Core::UrlHelpers
end
# configuring the above results in the following
app/spec/rails_helper.rb:21:in `block in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant Spree (NameError)
How do I access the spree routes given in $ rake routes in my tests?
After digging through the Spree code I was able to put together this setup for my rails_helper file that lets me use spree routes such as spree.admin_login_path in my spec files:
# app/spec/rails_helper.rb
require 'spree/testing_support/url_helpers'
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Spree::TestingSupport::UrlHelpers
end
I'm sure there's a smoother way to include all of Spree's test helpers, and I'd love to hear about it from someone who knows.

Devise 3.2 + Rspec 3

I'm trying to build some tests with Rspec and I'm getting the following error:
Failure/Error: get :index
NoMethodError:
undefined method `authenticate!' for nil:NilClass
Then I made some searchs and I realized that I had to include this line in the spec_helper.rb:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, type: :controller
end
It seems that this code worked for most people but not for me. Now i'm getting the following error:
/home/bruna/Dropbox/Rails/academico/spec/spec_helper.rb:18:in `block in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant Devise (NameError)
I think this might be some error in this version of rspec and/or devise. Has anyone seen this error? Please, help me :'(
RSpec 3 configuration is different from earlier versions, with the addition of a spec/rails_helper.rb file that must be included for each spec file. Add the Devise TestHelpers to the spec/rails_helper.rb file.
If you need more information about RSpec 3 configuration, I've written an RSpec Tutorial. There's also information about testing Devise with RSpec, including advice about session helpers for feature testing, in my Rails Devise Tutorial.

View helper methods not included for Devise views in rspec integration/request tests?

When I visit my sign in page in a browser everything works fine.
When I visit my sign in page in an rspec integration/request test, I get the following error:
ActionView::Template::Error:
undefined method `title' for #<#<Class:0x00000007af9180>:0x00000007af32a8>
The title method is used by the view and defined in ApplicationHelper which devise seems to find when using the browser. However, during rspec integration tests, devise is unable to find the helper method.
Is there anything I should be stubbing? It seems wrong to be stubbing in integration tests. Any other ideas?
(This question is not about how to include devise helpers in integration tests. I'm manually filling in the sign in forms to authenticate).
Looks like this issue. (in some cases related to ActiveAdmin https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/wiki/Use-spork)
Here I found a hack that works for me (REE 1.8.7, Rails 3.1, Capybara, Devise, active_admin).
However, this is not likely to be merged, so I forked spork-rails to here with that patch applied. And as you probably know I can point my Gemfile to that repo:
gem 'spork-rails', :git => "git://github.com/chopmo/spork-rails.git"
Not optimal but it gets the job done for now.
I had a similar problem using Cucumber when I installed devise:
undefined local variable or method `flash_block' for #<#<Class:0x007ffd0a28dae8>:0x007ffd0b2f6d58> (ActionView::Template::Error)
I solved it by including the module in env.rb
Spork.prefork do
include FlashBlockHelper
I hope this helps.
Inside /spec/support create devise.rb with this:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end
Make sure your spec_helper.rb includes:
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
and that your specs have:
require 'spec_helper'
