Testing login using cucumbers

Question

I am trying to test login functionality using Cucumber. My users_steps.rb file contains

Given /^I am a user named "([^"]*)" with an email "([^"]*)" and password "([^"]*)"$/ do |name, email, password| u = User.new(:name => name, :email => email, :password => password, :password_confirmation => password) u.skip_confirmation! u.save! end When /^I sign in as "(.*)\/(.*)"$/ do |email, password| #Given %{I am not logged in} When %{I go to the sign in page} And %{I fill in "user_email" with "#{email}"} And %{I fill in "user_password" with "#{password}"} And %{I press "Log Me In"} end Then /^I should be signed in$/ do Then %{I should see "Sign out"} end Then /^I should be signed in$/ do Then %{I should see "Sign out"} end Then /^I sign out$/ do visit('/account/logout') end 

and my cucumber scenario:

  Scenario: User signs in successfully with email Given I am not logged in And I am a user named "foo" with an email " [e-mail] " and password "please" When I go to the sign in page And I sign in as " [e-mail] /please" Then I should be signed in When I return next time Then I should be already signed in 

However, this test cannot sign the user. I checked that the user was created correctly, but after filling out the form, I was redirected to the login page.

I am using capybara. What am I missing?

Answer 1

You probably want to use:

1. In the user_steps.rb file located in step_definitions:

 Given /^a valid user$/ do @user = User.create!({ :email => " [e-mail] ", :password => "12345678", :password_confirmation => "12345678" }) end Given /^a logged in user$/ do Given "a valid user" visit signin_url fill_in "Email", :with => " [e-mail] " fill_in "Password", :with => "12345678" click_button "Sign in" end 

In your authentication function:

 Scenario: Login Given a valid user When I go to the login page And I fill in the following: |Email| [e-mail] | |Password|12345678| And I press "Sign in" Then I should see "Signed in successfully." 

Remember to change the path to your login page at support / paths.rb

 when /the login page/ user_session_path 

Here my path uses the default setting. You can use rake routes to find out your login.

You may need to change the text in “Sign In,” “Signed Successfully,” to fit your page. My assumptions here are that you are using the default configuration for cucumber + capybara + devise.
