David,
Thank you for your great insight. You're assumptions were correct and the
user wasn't getting logged in, because I didn't add all the necessary
paramenters for the user to be able to log in.
I am checking if the user is being created and also if after login, there is
a message posted, such as Logged in. I posted that message in Application
layout.
This is my working login step for anybody that might have a use for this
later on.
Given /I am logged in as a user/ do
@current_user = User.create!(
:name => 'quentin',
:email => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
:login => 'loginz',
:password => 'monkey',
:password_confirmation => 'monkey',
:activated_at => '2008-11-22 12:13:59',
:activation_code => nil,
:salt => '356a192b7913b04c54574d18c28d46e6395428ab',
:crypted_password => 'df42adbd0b4f7d31af495bcd170d4496686aecb1',
:created_at => '2008-11-22 12:13:59')
visits "/login"
fills_in("login", :with => "quentin")
fills_in("password", :with => "monkey")
clicks_button("Log in")
User.find_by_name("quentin").should_not be_nil
response.body.should =~ /Logged/m
end
