undefined method `sign_in'

Question

Can't fix the Error by following the course...

  1) Viewing todo items displays the title of the todo list
     Failure/Error: before { sign_in user, password: 'treehouse1'}
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `sign_in' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1:0x007fedd5abda40>
     # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:6:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

I set the method in the authenication_helpers.rb

module AuthenticationHelpers
  module Controller
    def sign_in(user)
      controller.stub(:current_user).and_return(user)
      controller.stub(:user_id).and_return(user.id)
    end
  end

  module Feature
    def sign_in(user, options ={})
      visit "/login"
      fill_in "Email", with: user.email
      fill_in "Password", with: options[:password]
      click_button "Log In"
    end
  end
end

And added config to spec_helper.rb

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include TodoListHelpers, type: :feature
  config.include RailsDomIdHelper, type: :feature
  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
  config.include AuthenticationHelpers::Controller, tpye: :controller
  config.include AuthenticationHelpers::Feature, tpye: :feature

But rspec can't define the method

let(:user) {create (:user)}
before { sign_in user, password: 'treehouse1'}
# And I tried before do too.. the error is same
  before do
    sign_in user, password: "treehouse1"
  end

Hi there,

It looks like you have a typo in the last two lines of your spec_helper

config.include AuthenticationHelpers::Controller, tpye: :controller
 config.include AuthenticationHelpers::Feature, tpye: :feature

I hope this fixes it and if not, it might have something to do with the directory you added the authentication helper to. Good luck!
