I'm newbie to Rails Testing.
After following some tutorial online, I could able to setup and run testing for Model.
But when trying to test for Controller, Testing was failed as it is redirected to login page.
I've tried every instruction I can find on web to sign in for devise and still couldn't able to sign in and move forward.
Appreciate if someone could help and give me a direction to move forward.

From integration_helpers.rb, for example:
class PostsTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest include Devise::Test::IntegrationHelpers test 'authenticated users can see posts' do sign_in users(:bob) get '/posts' assert_response :success end end In your test_helper.rb file's ActiveSupport::TestCase class, add a new method log_in_as like this:
require "test_helper" ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test" require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__) require "rails/test_help" require "minitest/rails" require "minitest/reporters" Minitest::Reporters.use!( Minitest::Reporters::SpecReporter.new, ENV, Minitest.backtrace_filter ) class ActiveSupport::TestCase fixtures :all include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods # Returns true if a test user is logged in. def is_logged_in? !session[:user_id].nil? end # Logs in a test user. def log_in_as(user, options = {}) password = options[:password] || 'password' remember_me = options[:remember_me] || '1' if integration_test? post login_path, session: { email: user.email, password: password, remember_me: remember_me } else session[:user_id] = user.id end end private # Returns true inside an integration test. def integration_test? defined?(post_via_redirect) end end class ActionController::TestCase include Devise::TestHelpers end Then, use this log_in_as method instead of sign_in in your test:
require "test_helper" class AwardedBidsControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase test "should get index" do user = create(:user) log_in_as user get :index assert_response :success end end
