Cucumber Features

As your app evolves, you want to know that authentication still works. Clearance’s opinion is that you should test its integration with your app using Cucumber.

In config/environments/test.rb:

config.gem 'webrat',
  :version => '>= 0.4.5'
config.gem 'cucumber',
  :version => '>= 0.3.11'
config.gem 'thoughtbot-factory_girl',
  :lib     => 'factory_girl',
  :source  => "http://gems.github.com", 
  :version => '1.2.1'

Vendor the gems:

rake gems:install RAILS_ENV=test
rake gems:unpack  RAILS_ENV=test

We don’t vendor nokogiri due to its native extensions, so install it normally on your machine:

sudo gem install nokogiri

Run the Cucumber generator (if you haven’t already) and Clearance’s feature generator:

script/generate cucumber
script/generate clearance_features

All of the files generated should be new with the exception of the features/support/paths.rb file. If you have not modified your paths.rb then you will be okay to replace it with this one. If you need to keep your paths.rb file then add these locations in your paths.rb manually:

def path_to(page_name)
  case page_name
   ...
  when /the sign up page/i
   new_user_path
  when /the sign in page/i
   new_session_path
  when /the password reset request page/i
   new_password_path
  ...
end
