Question

I\"m using capybara for my integration/acceptance tests. They\'re in /spec/requests/ folder. Now I have a few helper methods that I use during acceptance tests. One

Answer 1

I used the given solution by @VasiliyErmolovich, but I changed the type to make it work:

config.include YourHelper, :type => :feature

Answer 2

Explicit way with ruby

Using include:

# spec/support/your_helper.rb
class YourHelper
  def register_user(user)
    visit home_page
    fill_in 'user_name', :with => user.username
    fill_in 'password', :with => user.password
    click_button 'sign_up_button'
  end
end

describe MyRegistration do
  include YourHelper

  it 'registers an user' do
    expect(register_user(user)).to be_truthy
  end
end

Answer 3

Put your helper to the spec/support folder and do something like this:

spec/support/:

module YourHelper
  def register_user(user)
    visit home_page
    fill_in 'user_name', :with => user.username
    fill_in 'password', :with => user.password
    click_button 'sign_up_button'
  end
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include YourHelper, :type => :request
end
