Rack::AliceInExternal

Rack::AliceInExternal is a Rack middleware which provides rough and dirty stubbing for authentication via Sorcery external (GitHub OAuth only for the moment).

Assumes that you have built the OauthsController following to https://github.com/NoamB/sorcery/wiki/External :

class OauthsController < ApplicationController

  ...

  def oauth

    ...

  end

  def callback

    ...

  end

  ...

end

Rack::AliceInExternal hooks requests for /oauth/[provider] and returns the stubbed response which redirects you to /oauth/callback?provider=[provider].

Then callback action tries to acquire the access token for authentication from the provider, Rack::AliceInExternal stubs those requests via WebMock and returns the response of the access token and the user data that can be appropriately handled by Sorcery.

This helps you to write feature tests in more user-story-friendly ways, like:

visit root_url
click_link 'Login with GitHub'
...

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-alice_in_external'

Usage

Rack::AliceInExternal stubs the external requests and returns the user information as a response which includes uid: 42. So if the user with an association to the uid: 42 record in authentications table exists, Sorcery makes that user login, otherwise a new user is created (and you cannot change uid other than 42).

Fixture examples:

users.yml

alice:
  name: Alice

authentications.yml

alice_auth:
  uid: 42
  provider: github
  user: alice

Add the middleware you want to use for stubbing in config/environments/test.rb (add it in development.rb as well if necessary):

Rails.application.configure do

  ...


  # Stubbing OAuth authentication via Sorcery's GitHub external
  config.middleware.use Rack::AliceInExternal::GithubMock

  ...

end

Then just write feature tests like the below, it tries to login as the user with uid: 42:

visit root_url
click_link 'Login with GitHub' # <= the link to /oauth/[provider]

...

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
