Failing to test Devise with Capybara

Question

I\'m building a Rails 3 app using Devise, with Capybara for UI testing. The following test is failing:

class AuthenticationTest < ActionController::Integ         


        

Answer 1

I was having the same issue and found a thread with a solution:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = false

  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.start
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

end

For the DatabaseCleaner stuff to work you'll need to include the database_cleaner gem. If you haven't used it before, you may need to rake db:test:prepare before rerunning your tests. I hope this works for you, too!
