Requiring Login - Testing Failure - Build Simple Rails App

Hi Jadam L,

I'm not sure why you're getting this error, but Jason Seifer should be able to answer your question. He's speaking at a web conference this week, but he should be able to get back to you soon! Sorry for the delay, but Jason will have the best answer. :)

Looks like your Statuses controller is not checking to see if the user is logged in prior to rendering the Status.new

Check out statuses_controller.rb and make sure that your before_filter is filtering for :new as below:

before_filter :authenticate_user!, only [:new, :create, :edit, :update]

I hope that helps!

I'm getting something quite similar. The test is written exactly like it's written in the video itself:

test "should be logged in to post a status" do
  sign_in users(:itay)
  post :create, status: { content: "Hello. This is a test status" }
  assert_response :redirect
  assert_redirected_to new_user_session_path # <=This is the failure line
end

But somehow it fails:

Expected response to be ab redirect to <http://test.host/users/sign_in> but was a redirect to <http://test.host/statuses/980190963>

And my before_filter is updated just like Yonatan here said. And the wierdest thing is, when I take the server up and go to the app itself, I am redirected to /users/sign_in when I try to post a new message

Any ideas?

I'm such a moron. Of course the test failed, because I forgot to remove the "sign in users(:user)" line. Can't remember now how it got there.

Removed it and all's fine now.

Jadam L , maybe you've got the same symptoms? :-)
