RSPEC erros on Chapter 9 of Ruby Tutorial - ruby-on-rails

I'm using ruby 1.8.7 on mac osx10.8. I have no idea what these errors mean. I am currently at the end of chapter 9 of the ruby on rails tutorial. Any help is greatly appreciated!

<% end %>
<p>New user? <%= link_to "Sign up now!", signup_path %></p>
</div>
</div>

The error is resulting from params[:session] being nil which in turn has resulted from your using form_tag instead of form_for in your view, presumably as a result of doing the first exercise at the end of Chapter 9. You can use form_tag, but you have to make the corresponding changes in SessionsController in keeping with RailsCast #270 (i.e. referencing the email address as params[:email] in your find_by_email call.).

I am currently working on Chapter 8 of Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails tutorial. I encountered a problem with my tests failing and tried to solve this myself, but I realize it's useless, so I have to ask here. Here is the error message I'm getting.

redirect_to user
else
# Create an error message and re-render the signin form
flash.now[:error] = 'Invalid email/password combination'

end
end
def destroy
end
end
The main failure I'm trying to solve, that should be green is 1. I passed the flash.now hash to indicate that I want the flash to disappear after a second request, but rspec says no.
I'm stumped as to what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated
RSpec tells you that method sign_in does not exists. If you look at the chapter 8.2.2 you will find a helper with this method.
#app/helpers/sessions_helper.rb
module SessionsHelper
def sign_in(user)
remember_token = User.new_remember_token
cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = remember_token
user.update_attribute(:remember_token, User.digest(remember_token))
self.current_user = user
end
end

If your code is formatted like this:
describe "edit" do
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
before do
sign_in user
visit edit_user_path(user)
describe "page" do
it { should have_content("Update your profile") }
it { should have_title("Edit user") }
it { should have_link('change', href: 'http://gravatar.com/emails') }
end
I can see that it is probably broken without reading any of your code.
Are all your code blocks properly closed? Does not look so!
In addition to the unclosed blocks that phoet pointed out, which are causing your "undefined method describe" errors, you're getting errors in /app/views/users/index.html.erb line 5. The error is undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass which means there's a variable on that line that you're doing variable.each with, but you're either not setting that variable or when you're setting it, it's getting set to nil.
In general, the way for you to successfully get through this is to read the error messages and try to fix what they're complaining about. If you search for each error message individually, you'll find stack overflow questions about the specific issue that will help you.

NoMethodError: undefined method `email' for nil:NilClass (Rspec/factory girl/cancan/devise)

I am following Hartl's Rails tutorial but I used devise/cancan/rolify so some things are not the same.
On my users_pages_spec.rb test, I keep getting this error in spite of all I tried:
1) User pages index delete links as an admin user
Failure/Error: sign_in #superadmin
NoMethodError:
undefined method `email' for nil:NilClass
# ./spec/support/utilities.rb:14:in `sign_in'

3) User pages index delete links as an admin user should be able to delete another user
Failure/Error: sign_in #superadmin
NoMethodError:
undefined method `email' for nil:NilClass

4) User pages index delete links as an admin user
Failure/Error: sign_in #superadmin
NoMethodError:

# ./spec/support/utilities.rb:14:in `sign_in'
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:91:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'
I don't understand why, does nil::nilClass mean factory girl actually does not manage to create this superadmin user?
Here is the sample of my user_pages_spec.rb file:
require 'spec_helper'
require 'cancan/matchers'
# Test if targeted words appears in displayed content
describe "User pages" do
subject { page }
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
let(:wrong_user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user, email: "wrong#example.com") }
let(:non_admin) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
let(:submit) { "Sign in" }
describe "index" do
describe "delete links" do
it { should_not have_link('delete') }
describe "as an admin user" do
let(:superadmin) { FactoryGirl.create(:superadmin) }
before do
sign_in #superadmin
visit users_path
end
it { should have_title('List of users') }
it { should have_link('delete', href: user_path(User.first)) }
it "should be able to delete another user" do
expect { click_link('delete') }.to change(User, :count).by(-1)
end
it { should_not have_link('delete', href: user_path(superadmin)) }
end
end
end
end
my spec/utilities.rb defining sign_in method
include ApplicationHelper
def sign_in(user)
visit new_user_session_path
fill_in "Email", with: user.email
fill_in "Password", with: user.password
click_button "Login"
#populate cookie when not using capybara
cookies[:authentication_token] = user.authentication_token
end
and my spec/factories/user.rb
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :user do
sequence(:name) { |n| "Person #{n}" }
sequence(:email) { |n| "person_#{n}#example.com"}
password "beta"
password_confirmation "beta"
# required if the Devise Confirmable module is used
confirmed_at Time.now
confirmation_token nil
factory :superadmin do
after(:create) {|user| user.add_role(:superadmin)}
end
end
end
I do have in cancan/rolify a superadmin role defined.
If anybody has a clue, I'd take it! i can update the question with additional file needed if not already here.
Your let call is setting superadmin, but you're referencing #superadmin, which is going to be nil, since it hasn't been set. BTW, this is a good reason to generally avoid using instance variables in your tests, as they silently default to nil when referenced if uninitialized.

#current_user ||= User.find_by_remember_token(cookies[:remember_token])
end
end
Here is the user rb file
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation
has_secure_password
before_save { |user| user.email = email.downcase }
before_save :create_remember_token

end
Here is the sessions controller
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
def new
end
def create
user = User.find_by_email(params[:session][:email].downcase)
if user && user.authenticate(params[:session][:password])
sign_in User
redirect_to user
else

render 'new'
end
end
def destroy
end
end
These are the files I think the issues are with let me know if you need to see any other files. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
[Updated per comment thread from original answer].
The error message shows a Class as missing the method, which means that a Class rather than an instance of User was passed as the argument to sign_in. Checking the calling code in sessions_controller.rb, you can see that User was passed instead of user.
In general, I found that tutorial to be "spot on". If you follow the text carefully, you won't go wrong.

I can't seem to find the error. Any suggestions on where I should look based on the error output? Thank you.
Check your config/routes.rb file to make sure that:
match '/signin', to: 'sessions#new'
matches what your session controllers is seeing. The create method for your "sessions_controller.rb" should have:
def create
user = User.find_by_email(params[:session][:email].downcase)
if user && user.authenticate(params[:session][:password])
sign_in user
redirect_back_or user
else
flash.now[:error] = 'Invalid email/password combination'
render 'new'
end
end
Just my guess. I'm currently around that area too in the tutorial. Best of luck and I hope that helps!
A bit late probably but anyways...
Check if you got "include SessionsHelper" in app/controllers/application_controller.rb
helpers are included into views by default but you have to explicitly include them in controllers
