Add current_user to Cucumber step definitions
Cucumber provides a great way to apply BDD during your rails development.
Sometimes you need to populate your testing database with background data and sometimes you need to access the
current_user
method.
Generally
current_user
is a method defined in the
ApplicationController
class or in a user related module.
So it’s not accessible to Cucumber’s scenarios: let’s add it and share to all step definition’s classes.
#authentication_steps.rb
module AuthenticationHelpers
def current_user_session
return @current_user_session if defined (@current_user_session)
@current_user_session = UserSession.find
end
def current_user
return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
@current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.user
end
end
World(AuthenticationHelpers)
module AuthenticationHelpers
def current_user_session
return @current_user_session if defined (@current_user_session)
@current_user_session = UserSession.find
end
def current_user
return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
@current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.user
end
end
