HowTo Write tests for Devise & Omniauth in my Rails 3 app? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a Rails 3 app with Omniauth and Devise. I haven't been able to find a solid tutorial showing how I should write specs for testing the functionality.
What I want to achieve is to ensure that the Sign Up and Sign In forms are working... meaning users can create accounts. I also want to be sure that the Omniauth FB Connect works as well at all times.
What/how can I write test for these scenarios above?
Thanks

Answer 1

The tests were very useful to test the pretty complex method I have to process authentication from Yahoo, Facebook, Google and AOL. Especially the edge cases.
This should get you started, it is the first of my 10+ scenarios.
.feature file
Feature: Signinin with third party service: Google, Aol, Facebook and Yahoo
In order to use the site
As a User
I want to sign in using my Facebook or Gmail accounts
Before do
OmniAuth.config.test_mode = true
end
After do
OmniAuth.config.test_mode = false
end
Scenario Outline: Sign with valid names and emails
Given that I have a valid "<provider>" account with email "<email>" and name "<name>"
And that I am not signed in
And I go to the sign in page
When I follow image link "<provider>"
Then I should see "You signed in using your <provider> account ("
And I should see "Welcome to Death Star"
Examples: valid name and email variations
| provider | email | name |
| Google | lukeskywaler#gmail.com | luke skywlaker |
| Facebook | darth.vader#aol.com | darth vader |
my_step.rb helper:
Given /^that I have a valid "([^"]*)" account with email "([^"]*)" and name "([^"]*)"$/ do |provider, email, name|
OmniAuth.config.test_mode = true
if provider.downcase == "yahoo" or provider.downcase == "google" or provider.downcase == "aol"
# the symbol passed to mock_auth is the same as the name of the provider set up in the initializer
OmniAuth.config.mock_auth[:open_id] =
{
'provider' => "#{provider}",
'uid' => "#{provider}.com",
'user_info' => { 'email' => "#{email}", 'name' => "#{name}"}
}
else
# the symbol passed to mock_auth is the same as the name of the provider set up in the initializer
OmniAuth.config.mock_auth[:facebook] = {
'provider' => 'facebook',
'uid' => "531564247",
'credentials' => {
'token'=> "18915faketoken22|2.NKt21XnznTNEDTTERDGYXI2UUw__.3600.1302234329200-531564247|Mi0DhWREl6g-T9bMZnL82u7s4MI"
},
'user_info' => {
'nickname' => "profile.php?id=53232564247",
'email' => "#{email}",
'first_name' => "Luke",
'last_name' => "Skywalker",
'name' => "Luke Skywalker",
'image' => "http://graph.facebook.com/5asd54247/picture?type=square",
'urls' => {
'facebook' => "http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5asd54247",
'website' => ""
}
},
'extra' => {
'user_hash' => {
'id' => "5asd54247",
'name' => "#{name}",
'first_name' => "#{name.split(' ')[0]}",
'last_name' => "#{name.split(' ')[1]}",
'link' => "http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5asd54247",
'birthday' => "12/7/1932",
'hometown' => {
'id' => "104048449631599",
'name' => "Menlo Park, California"
},
'location' => {
'id' => "104048449631599",
'name' => "Menlo Park, California"
},
'gender' => "male",
'email' => "#{email}",
'timezone' => "-7",
'locale' => "en_US",
'verified' => true
}
}
}
end
end
Hope this help.
