uncaught throw :warden in Devise Testing

Question

I have just begun with testing Devise. I am unable to understand of why i am getting this error ::

Failure/Error: subject.current_user.should_not be_nil
 Ar         


        

Answer 1

uncaught throw :warden happens when authenticate_user! fails.

Figure out why your the user's authentication is a failing, and you'll have solved your problem.

Answer 2

I see this is a very old question, but I came across similar issue. This is what helped me.

If you're using confirmable module, don't forget to confirm user, otherwise the Warden exception is thrown. Appropriate change to your code would be:

before(:each) do
    user = Factory(:user)
    user.confirmed_at = Time.zone.now
    user.save
    @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
    sign_in user
end
