I use this in test_helper.rb:
def login_as(u)
u = users(u) if Symbol === u
@request.session[:user] = u.typed_id
end
the first line is mostly to make using fixtures easier - if you're only using
factories, you can omit it. The helper is used as follows:
def test_controller_foo_does_something
login_as(:admin)
...
end
or:
def test_controller_foo_does_something_else
u = Factory(:user)
login_as(u)
...
end
Hope this helps!
