Even better, correct me if I'm wrong.
No need to add an additional hook (LoginMacros module) because
SessionsHelper beign included in my ApplicationController, is automatically
accessible in controller specs.
It means that I culd just call SessionsHelper 'sign_in method directly in
my ClientControllerSpec:
require 'spec_helper'
describe ClientsController do
let(:admin) { create(:admin) }
before { sign_in(admin) }
...
end
and remove the include of LoginMacros module in spec_helper config blolck.
Voilà :)
