I am definitely late for the party, a year late, anyways.

I am using authlogic 2.1.5.
When I try to use the above sample code, it blows out giving the error message

undefined method `has_attribute?’ for #
/home/xuser/myprojects/xproject/spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:13:in `user_session’
/home/xuser/myprojects/xproject/spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:17:in `login’
/home/xuser/myprojects/xproject/spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:58:

Looks like the session implementation has been changed in the latest version. Any awesome solution from the awesome-authlogic to avoid this ?

Authlogic is amazing for authentication, it simplifies and provides a nice, unobtrusive library for rails applications.
And I happened to across this post, thinking of writing tests for it.
Thanks for the nice blog.

Juliens solution worked too.

I found I needed to stub the :record method too ;

def user_session(stubs = {}, user_stubs = {})
  @user_session ||= mock_model(UserSession, {:user => current_user(user_stubs), :record => true}.merge(stubs))
end

I have been using Authlogic successfully on a prototype of a website that I am creating, but am a little concerned about the behavior of the authentication system with regard to the browser cache. It seems that after I have logged a user in, and then log out, I can hit the back button and go right back to the last logged-in page because the browser stored it in the cache. Is there an easy way to avoid this?

This is what I ended up doing. I’m not completely sure if I’m all crazy about it. But it seems to kinda work:

def login(factory = :user)
  @current_user = Factory(factory)
  @current_user_session = mock_model(UserSession, {:record =&gt; current_user})
  UserSession.any_instance.stubs(:find).returns(current_user_session)
  controller.stubs(:current_user).returns(current_user)
end
 
def admin_login
  login(:admin)
end

Using padlock for authorization and factory_girl for factories.

Factory.define :user do |u|
  u.sequence(:email) { |n| "bangbang_#{n}@example.com" }
  u.password 'foobar0123'
  u.password_confirmation 'foobar0123'
end
 
Factory.define :admin, :parent =&gt; :user do |a|
  a.roles { [Factory(:admin_role)] }
end
 
Factory.define(:admin_role, :class =&gt; Role) do |role|
  role.name 'admin'
  role.authorizable { Factory(:app) }
end
