Setting env when using rspec to test omniauth callbacks - facebook

Question

I'm having a strange problem when trying to set a callback for Facebook Authentication via Omniauth. In my controller (simplified to just the code necessary to show the error) I have:
class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
def facebook
raise env.inspect
# auth_hash = env["omniauth.auth"]
end
end
this works in production mode, showing me the hash. However in test mode env is set to nil.
I have the following set in my spec_helper.rb file
OmniAuth.config.test_mode = true
OmniAuth.config.add_mock(:facebook, {"credentials" => {
"token" => "foo-token"
}
})
and my spec looks like this:
require 'spec_helper'
describe Users::OmniauthCallbacksController do
describe "Facebook" do
before(:each) do
request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
request.env["omniauth.auth"] = OmniAuth.config.mock_auth[:facebook]
end
it "should be a redirect" do
get :facebook
response.should redirect_to(root_path)
end
end
end
Can anyone enlighten me on what I need to do to have env not be nil when running my tests?

Answer 1

I use the following in my spec_helper.rb :
RACK_ENV = ENV['ENVIRONMENT'] ||= 'test'
I don't use Rails or Devise though so YMMV. I've also seen various threads saying that someone had to do this before their requires to get it to work.
