Testing subdomains in controller specifications in Rspec

Question

I successfully received controller specifications working with subdomains using a filter before this

before do 
    request.host = "an_account.example.com"
end

When a user tries to access a subdomain from which they are not part, they log out and are sent back to work out a sign in action, which is ISNT under the ie subdomain

www.example.com/users/sign_in

Everything works fine in the browser, hidden users are redirected, it is forbidden to enter unrelated subdomains and instead redirect to the sign form.

However, my controller specifications do not work with

"The expected answer is a redirect to http://example.com/users/sign_in , but has been redirected to http://an_account.example.com/users/sign_in "

Can anyone help with this?

Below is the before_filter option, which allows users

def authorize_account_subdomain!
    if current_account.subdomain != request.subdomain
      sign_out
      flash[:warning] = t('errors.unauthorized')
      redirect_to new_user_session_url(:subdomain => false)
    end
  end

and test

context 'when signed_in' do
    let(:user)      { create(:user_with_account) }
    let(:proposal)  { create(:proposal, :account => user.account) }
    let(:subdomain) { user.account.subdomain }

    before do
      sign_in user
    end

    context "when accessing other subdomain" do

      before do 
        other_subdomain = "other_subdomain"
        @request.host = "#{other_subdomain}.example.com"
      end

      it "can not access show action" do
        post :show, :id => 1
        access_denied!
      end
   end
end


#test helper

def access_denied!
    response.should redirect_to new_user_session_url(:subdomain => false)
    flash[:warning].should == I18n.t('errors.unauthorized')
end

Answer 1

When I look at this, I see that the request is correct, i.e. / users / sign _in is the same in both cases. So this tells me that its: subdomain => false in your URL helper.

See this answer for more details.
