Rspec, CanCan and Devise

Question

I am starting a project and i would like to be able to test everything :)

And i have some problems with CanCan and devise.

For exemple, I have a controller Conta

Answer 1

CanCan does not call Contact.new(params[:contact]). Instead it calls contact.attributes = params[:contact] later after it has applied some initial attributes based on the current ability permissions.

See Issue #176 for details on this and an alternative solution. I plan to get this fixed in CanCan version 1.5 if not sooner.
