How To Stub authentication in Devise controller specs

https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Stub-authentication-in-controller-specs

These are instructions for allowing you to use resource test doubles instead of actual ActiveRecord objects for testing controllers where Devise interactions are important. This means there's even less reliance on the database for controller specs, and that means faster tests!

This approach certainly needs some evolution, but it's a start.

To stub out your user for an action that expects an authenticated user, you'll want some code like this (once you've got Devise::TestHelpers loaded):

 user = double('user')

Basecamp-style subdomains in Rails: DHH
# 1) Point *.example.com in your DNS setup to your server.
#
# 2) Setup an Apache vhost to catch the star pointer:
#
# <VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerName example.com
# ServerAlias *.example.com
# </VirtualHost>
#
# 3) Set the current account from the subdomain

Pixel to EM
// Enter a base pixel size in px (without the px)
$basepx: 16;
// Convert PX to EM global function
@function pxtoem($px, $basepx){
@return ($px/$basepx)+0em;
}
//Then on a class or element you can use:
h1 { font-size: pxtoem(36, $basepx); }

#Simple Authentication with Bcrypt

This tutorial is for adding authentication to a vanilla Ruby on Rails app using Bcrypt and has_secure_password.

The steps below are based on Ryan Bates's approach from Railscast #250 Authentication from Scratch (revised).

You can see the final source code here: repo. I began with a stock rails app using rails new gif_vault
