Rails: Cucumber + Capybara - How to add http method to visit ()

I have this step definition:

Given /^I am not logged in$/ do
  visit '/users/sign_out'
end

And the rake routes give me this:

destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)      devise/sessions#destroy

So ... How can I check this? Is there a way to add an HTTP method to Capybara?

I say this because I keep getting this error in my tests:

 No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out" (ActionController::RoutingError)

Edit:

config.sign_out_via = :delete

for



config.sign_out_via = Rails.env.test? ? :get : :delete

in config/initializers/devise.rb

As explained in the Rails-Devise-Rspec-Cucumber tutorial , by doing this you are going to force Devise to make GET requests for the sign. And this will only happen in test environments ...

Several things are happening here.

  • You have a step defining the state, but the implementation does the action. I would expect this step to assert that you are not logged in, something like:

    current_path.should eq(home_url)

  • The method visit

    will only issue GET requests. RackTest

    will simulate delete requests if you provide a link to perform the action sign_out

    you would like to simulate in the browser:

    within('nav') { click_on('Logout') }

    Alternatively, you can navigate to Rack::Test::Methods

    and then directly use delete

    :

    World(Rack::Test::Methods)

Given /^I am not logged in$/ do
  delete '/users/sign_out'
end


You have a trade-off between being correct, like how the user actually logs out, and speed without loading the page at all. You will need to choose which path is right in the context of your scenario and how often you will use this step.

To expand on Nobita's answer , if you are overriding Devise's default routes, you also need to edit routes.rb

:

as :user do
  # Sample custom routes
  get '/register' => 'devise/registrations#new', as: :new_user_registration
  post '/register' => 'devise/registrations#create', as: :user_registration
  get '/login' => 'devise/sessions#new', as: :new_user_session
  post '/login' => 'devise/sessions#create', as: :user_session
  get '/my-account' => 'devise/registrations#edit', as: :edit_user_registration
  # This tells the test environment that GETting the logout path is OK
  if Rails.env.test?
    get '/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', as: :destroy_user_session
  else
    delete '/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', as: :destroy_user_session
  end
end
