Devise::JWT::TestHelpers not authenticate in rspec test

[Ferhat Ziba]

Issue Description:
I'm encountering an issue with the Devise::JWT::TestHelpers that was previously working fine in my test setup. The problem seems to be related to user authentication when using the helper in conjunction with RSpec tests.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. I'm creating the headers for my request test as described in the documentation:

   let!(:admin) { FactoryBot.create(:superadmin) }
   let(:headers) { { 'Accept' => 'application/json', 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' } }
   
   let(:valid_headers) do
     Devise::JWT::TestHelpers.auth_headers(headers, admin)
   end

2. In my test, I'm making a request like this:

   get core_agencies_url, headers: valid_headers, as: :json

3. However, I'm encountering an exception when trying to authenticate the user.

Expected Behavior:
I expected the authentication process to work as it did previously when using the Devise::JWT::TestHelpers with my RSpec tests.

Actual Behavior:
I'm currently encountering an exception when attempting to authenticate the user, and I'm unsure of the root cause of this issue. I've verified that the request header appears to be correctly formatted, as shown here:

(ruby) request.headers['Authorization']
"Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdGkiOiJlMjc5fVUS35kI_hPRZeqUG7gKfjJB8PtF2fVhqOdc_k"

Additional Information:

• Here is my user model definition:

  class User < ApplicationRecord
      include Devise::JWT::RevocationStrategies::JTIMatcher
      devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :jwt_authenticatable, jwt_revocation_strategy: self
      ...
  end

Notes:
I had to skip approximately 80 RSpec tests due to this issue, and I'm unsure about what might have caused this problem. Any help or guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Environment Information:

• Ruby version: 3.0.6
• Rails version: 7.0.6
• gem version: 0.11.0
• Devise version: 4.9.3

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue.

Hi, @fero46, thanks for reporting. Could you please share which is the exception you're finding?

So, I printed out the response body in my RSpec test, and I received the following JSON:

{"error": "No verification key available"}

After investigating this error, I found this device configuration:

jwt.secret = Rails.application.credentials.jwt_secret_key

I checked my test environment configuration and discovered that I don't have MASTER_KEY set in the test environment. So, I had to create a secret key only for the test environment.

In my humble opinion, this should be documented or there should be a default secret key for the testing environment.

Thanks for the update, @fero46. It looks like that's a specific Rails issue, maybe related to recent changes on 7.1. . Closing here.
