Rails controller spec helpers for Warden. If you're using Warden without Devise in rails, due to how ActionController sets up the test environment, custom test setup code is necessary.

# Gemfile
group :test do
  gem 'warden-rspec-rails'
end

# spec_helper.rb
RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.include Warden::Test::ControllerHelpers, type: :controller
end

This will define helper methods in controller tests that you can use to manage authentication, such as:

• warden: Access the Warden::Proxy.
• login_as: Same as the Warden::Test::Helpers login_as method.
• logout: Same as the Warden::Test::Helpers logout method.
• unlogin: Removes the user(s) from the logged-in list, but leaves the session value so the user can be fetched on access.
