I'm trying to build a request spec which tests the full gamut of creating a new user via devise API.
I currently have this sitting in RegistrationsController spec, but this won't work if I want to follow the mail link to the confirmations controller.
I haven't been able to find a good example of how people have tested the 'hand-off' from one controller to another and the intermittent 'steps' (we have custom devise methods scattered throughout the process which this test will encompass too).
it "creates a user, sends a welcome email, confirms the user, and registers the user in email campaigns" do
post :create, {user: new_user_params}
last_email = ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.last.body
ConfirmationsController.any_instance.should_receive(:after_filter_method_to_subscribe_user)
redirect_to confirmation_link(last_email) # helper method
last_email.should include("Thanks for joining!")
user = User.find_by_first_name(new_first_name)
user.confirmed?.should be_true
user.email_lists.should_not be_empty
end
Edit:
I should also add that I need http_basic_auth to run the spec which I'm including in a spec/support file and sets the request.env['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] to variables stored in the API::Base controller. I currently have nil as a request obect when running specs in the spec/request folder, which I'll need to run the specs.
Edit:
Thanks to people who've taken a look. I figured it out after piecing together two SO searches and the code I had. I'll post an answer for future SO'ers when I can.
