Decorator can not access controller helper in test

Question

Decorator can not access controller helper in test

swelther opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Today I noticed a weird behaviour during my request spec:

The controller defines a helper method which is called from the decorator. But during the test this helper is not available.

Please see this gist with a sample app that reproduces the problem, using Ruby 2.3.3:

My real world app uses RSpec instead of Minitest, but the result is the same.

Shouldn't it be possible to access helpers defined in the controller? What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for reporting this issue. It looks like it has been around for a while. It appears to have to do with the ViewContext not being cleared after each spec. I'll look into this and get back to you.
