integration tests for devise password recovery using rspec, capybara and email_spec

Question

I'm trying to test the password recovery using rspec/capybara using email_spec

My test.rb contains:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test

My test goes like this:

feature User do
  let!(:user){ FactoryGirl.build(:user) }

  before(:each) do
    visit root_path
    click_link "Sign up/in"
  end

  scenario "recover password" do
    user.save!
    click_link "Forgot password?"
    fill_in "Email", :with => user.email
    click_button "Send me reset password instructions"
    unread_emails_for(user.email).should be_present
  end

My test fails like so:

  1) User recover password
     Failure/Error: click_button "Send me reset password instructions"
     ActionView::Template::Error:
       Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter,
       set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true

If I set the default_url_options, rspec tries to send the mail. I'm not too sure about :only_path.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

Set the following line in the /config/environments/test.rb:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
