User login while testing with rspec and authlogic

Question

I have a spec for testing a controller as below

require 'spec_helper'

describe ProductsController do
setup :activate_authlogic

describe "user not logged in" do

it "should not GET index" do
get :index
response.should redirect_to(login_path)
end

end

describe "user logged in" do

before(:each) do
UserSession.create :username => "rohit", :password => "test123"
end

it "should GET index" do
get :index
response.should redirect_to(products_path)
end

end

end

I have also used this line in spec_helper.rb

require "authlogic/testcase"

The test for "user not logged in passes" but for "user logged in" fails with

'ProductsController user is logged in should GET index' FAILED
expected redirect to "/products", got no redirect

Answer 1

It seems normal, because You fetch the '/products' url with a logged user. Then He see this page. He is not redirect to the page he see.

Each test are independant. No state are save in previous test.
