Hello,

I'm testing my application with cucumber and I have some trouble getting the current_user to be created. I tried using the sign_in method in my steps definitions but it fails... Anyone had a chance to make this work with cucumber ?

Thx

The sign_in method in Devise::TestHelpers should be used in functional tests, where you need mocking. To sign in your users in integrations tests, just go to the sign page and fill in the form (it's an integration test!) or store the user direct in session (works for webrat, but not for selenium, culerity...).
