similar to: i can not get current_user while writing test case with Rspec and Capybara

But I’m facing some problems because of the fact that the book is already some years old, I guess. I have installed rvm and use Ruby 1.9.3, and I didn’t really get some Rails code examples to work properly, so I tried it with a 1.8.7 installation, but there I had some other problems

I''m doing some design/debugging in IRB and need to login a user and then be able to gain access to current_user in my efforts (I''m using Devise for authentication.)

I''m new with Capybara and after a good amount of google, I still can''t figure out how the #within methods works! I can use it only if I call visit before? There''s no way to use it on a string, like the `page = Capybara.string(html_string)` trick? When describe a view, I want something like that: describe "path/to/view.html.erb" do it "should pass"

This https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/commit/59793dcc349b64f4ebcf742606371001256c774d is exciting news!!

Hi, Another noob here I am afraid! I have a questuin about the current_user method that comes with AAA. I have AAA set up and working fine and if i put <%= self.current_user.login %> into a view it shows the login name as expected on the page.

First of all, I''ve been trying to find an answer for this problem all over the internet without luck. The thing is that I am using RVM with ruby 1.9.2-head and I created a new empty gemset. Then I installed bundler gem with: gem bundler install That installed the library into the /Users/damselem/.rvm/gems/ ruby-1.9.2-head at rails3/gems directory. Then I went to my rails 3 app
