I had to just sign in the admin user in my LoginMacros and include the
corresponding helper (SessionsHelper):
include SessionsHelper
module LoginMacros
def set_admin_session(admin)
sign_in(admin)
end
end
In ClientsControllerSpec :
require 'spec_helper'
describe ClientsController do
let(:admin) { create(:admin) }
before { set_admin_session(admin) }
describe 'GET #index' do
it "populates an array of all clients" do
clients = []
3.times do
clients << create(:client)
end
get :index
expect(assigns(:clients)).to match_array(clients)
end
it "renders the :index template" do
get :index
expect(response).to render_template :index
end
end
Hope this helps.
