Devise with Rails 8 and Rspec does not load strategies when run single test

[Piioo]

Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, I have a problem with devise strategies and rspec after Rails update to version 8.0.1.

We have a custom strategy which we load into the devise strategies (see below) and it does work fine on development/production and test when I run all test from one file at once. The strategies are all loaded in the manager and are found in proxy.rb to run the correct authenticate! in our custom strategy.

When I run a specific test like rspec spec/requests/foo/create_spec.rb:123, then the manager default_strategies are always empty and the test stops at the authentication.

I have seen others have similar problems when running one test: #5752 (comment)

Has someone an Idea?

require 'devise/strategies/cookie_auth'

module Devise
  module Models
    module CookieAuth
      extend ActiveSupport::Concern
    end
  end
end

module Devise
  module Strategies
    class CookieAuth < Warden::Strategies::Base
      def valid?
        !cookies[:access_token].nil?
      end

      def authenticate!
        ...
      end

      def store?
        false
      end
    end
  end
end

Warden::Strategies.add(:cookie_auth, Devise::Strategies::CookieAuth)

Devise.add_module(:cookie_auth, {
  strategy: true,
  controller: :sessions,
  model: 'devise/models/cookie_auth',
  route: :session
})

devise (4.9.4)
rails (8.0.1) (with 8.0.2 it's not better)
rspec-core (3.13.3)
rspec-rails (7.1.1)

Same problem here.

I have the identical configuration:

• devise (4.9.4)
• rails (8.0.2)
• rspec-core (3.13.3)
• rspec-rails (7.1.1)

I believe I have some insight, rough though it may be. I just ran into a similar pattern today (single spec failing, but not as a suite) and have been a few hours trying to make sense of it.

In my particular scenario, the problem looks to be coming from devise's controller helpers being set up before rails routes are drawn. In my rails_helper.rb I have

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers, type: :controller
end

and if you look at that helpers code, there is some setup there. One of the methods called is #warden, which builds the proxy based on Devise.warden_config and sets it on the env. However, at that point warden has not been configured with any strategies which may be defined. That happens here, when Rails routes are finalized.

What works for me, for now, is

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before(:suite) do
    Devise.configure_warden!
  end
end

Update: I wrote before fully reading the linked thread and I see there's a similar approach and conclusion. Though I do find my approach to be more concise and focused to the problem at hand.
