I''ve got an RSpec story that reads like:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Given that a post exists
And I am logged in
And I have edit permissions
When I visit the post details page
Then there should be a link to add a new comment
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The issue I''m having is that I can''t seem to set my login
state within
the Given clause. Ideally, I''d like to just assume that the user is
logged in by setting a session value (session[''username''] =
''whatever''),
but I don''t believe I can access the session variables from an RSpec
story - correct me if I''m wrong.
Since I can''t just set a session value, I''m trying to
implement the "I
am logged in" bit as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Given("I am logged in") do
post :login, {:name => "domain\\name", :password =>
"password"}
end
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But I get "NoMethodError: undefined method `post'' for
#<Object:0x3fafcf0>"
So, in order to get around this, I''ve tried:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Given("I am logged in") do
@login = LoginController.new
@login.authenticate(''domain'',
''username'',''password'')
end
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But, since the LoginController can''t access the session variable, I get
a "nil object when you didn''t expect it" error when it tries
to set the
session upon authenticating.
So, two questions:
1. Can I do get/post within a story, and if so, how? I''ve seen
examples
of get/posts in stories, but everything I''ve tried comes back with
"get"
or "post as an undefined method.
2. Is there any way to get to the session directly within an RSpec
story?

These are two very different things. Your default controller actions are: def index def show def new def edit def create def update def destroy> 2.

The question is: what form of login authentication are you using and how is it represented in parans[]? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The params thing should do it for the session variable. All that''s happening to check whether a user is logged in or not is to see if the session[''username''] has a value. Currently it''s doing authentication via our Windows domain.> Are get/post methods defined inside your controller or are you thinking > of the httpd verbs here? These are two very different things.

What I''m attempting to do is request a page from our RSpec story. According to http://tomtenthij.co.uk/2008/1/25/rspec-plain-text-story-runner-on-a-fresh-rails-app , I should be able to call "post" within our story without specifying the method in a controller context. That being said, I have absolutely no idea what object post or get is being called on within the example I''ve linked to. Are you aware of another way to request a page? For example, my first instinct is to call "get ''/posts/1/''" when considering the story line "When I visit the post details page", and this does not work. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It seems I missed defining the type of story to run. In the story itself, it needs to have: with_steps_for(:login) do run_local_story "login_story", :type => RailsStory end This RailsStory thing isn''t in much of the sample RSpec code I''ve run across, but by defining the type, you gain access to some Rails commands like get and post. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
