wrong redirect with capybara

Question

I have problem in my previous question, me helped, but and now I've took new. I'm make integration tests with rspec and capybara.

this my profiles_controllers.rb :

 before_filter :authenticate_user!

  def update
    @profile = current_user.profile
    if @profile.update_attributes(params[:profile])
        flash[:success] = "Профиль обновлен!"
        redirect_to user_path(current_user)
    else
      render 'edit'
    end
  end

it's my test file:

describe "ProfilePages" do

subject { page }

describe "edit" do
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
let(:profile) { FactoryGirl.create(:profile, user: user) }

before do
  login user
  visit edit_profile_path(profile)
end

it { should have_selector('h2', text: 'Заполните информацию о себе') }

describe "change information" do
  let(:new_city)  { "Ulan-Bator" }
  let(:new_phone) { 1232442 }
  let(:new_gamelevel) { "M2" }
  let(:new_aboutme)   { "nfsfsdfds" }
  let(:submit) { "Сохранить" }
  before do
    fill_in "Город",             with: new_city
    fill_in "Телефон",           with: new_phone
    select new_gamelevel,        from: "Уровень игры"
    fill_in "О себе",            with: new_aboutme
    click_button submit
  end
  specify { profile.reload.city.should  == new_city }
  specify { profile.reload.phone.should == new_phone }
  specify { profile.reload.gamelevel.should == new_gamelevel }
  specify { profile.reload.aboutme.should == new_aboutme }
end

describe "submitting to the update action" do
  before  { put profile_path(profile) }
  specify { response.should redirect_to(user_path(user)) }
end
end
end

And I have error:

Failure/Error: specify { response.should redirect_to(user_path(user)) } Expected response to be a redirect to http://www.example.com/users/1 but was a redirect to http://www.example.com/users/sign_in

I use Devise and have login helper in spec/support:

def login(user)
 page.driver.post user_session_path, 'user[email]' => user.email, 'user[password]'       =>    user.password
end

And config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller in spec_helper.rb

I tried use warden helper login_as , but have same error. How I understand it's don't start session, I'am right?

This is nothing to do with your app code, but the test code.

response object is for controller integration tests, and there is no such object in Capybara.

Normally you can use page object to check response information. And for path checking, a better approach is current_path or current_url.

So your code will work by:

current_path.should be(user_path(user))
