Currently, these tests fail because they attempt to access the (uninitialized in the spec) current_user.

The rspec tests for this lab are are written in a style that is deprecated. The results are hard to read because of the syntax warnings. I rewrote the tests in the new syntax below. In short, get :show, { id: 1 }, nil is no longer good syntax; nil can be omitted, and params are to be explicitly notated, i.e. : get :show, params { id: 1 }

/spec/controllers/secrets_controller_spec.rb

RSpec.describe SecretsController do
  describe 'get show' do
    it "should redirect to login if you're not logged in" do
      get :show
      expect(response).to redirect_to controller: 'sessions', action: 'new'
    end

    it "should show you the secret if you're logged in" do
      # note, in this test we're sending a get request to the secretscontroller with no params.
      # if your route expects a param of id you'll get this error No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"secrets"}
      get :show, session: {name: 'Maya Angelou'}
      assert_response 200
    end
  end
end

/spec/controllers/session_controller_spec.rb

RSpec.describe SessionsController do
  describe 'create' do
    it 'redirects to login page if :name is nil' do
      post :create, params: { name: nil }
      expect(response).to redirect_to controller: 'sessions', action: 'new'
    end

    it 'redirects to login page if :name is empty' do
      post :create, params: { name: '' }
      expect(response).to redirect_to controller: 'sessions', action: 'new'
    end

    it 'sets session[:name] if :name was given' do
      me = 'Werner Brandes'
      post :create, params: { name: me }
      expect(@request.session[:name]).to eq me
    end
  end

  describe 'destroy' do
    it 'leaves session[:name] nil if it was not set' do
      post :destroy
      expect(@request.session[:name]).to be nil
    end

    it 'clears session[:name] if it was set' do
      post :create, params: { name: 'Trinity' }
      expect(@request.session[:name]).to_not be nil
      post :destroy
      expect(@request.session[:name]).to be nil
    end
  end
end

The tests would fail and keep saying the current_user method was undefined for the application controller, even though I had written it in. I did some research and prepended the current_user method with the subject keyword in the spec file and that seemed to get it to register. I'm not fully sure if that's the right solution or how it works, but without it, it didn't seem current_user knew what class to be invoked upon.

When typing learn on the vanilla lab the green light on Learn comes on for passing local tests with no code written.

Just an observation... if I hadn't peeked at the solution, I would have had no idea how to structure the pages for this lab.

hello.html.erb in views/application?

INSTRUCTIONS
Build out the SessionsController. - including what actions??
Write a current_user method. - where?
Write a SecretsController using a before_action to prevent any route from being accessed without logging in. - okay this is more like it! :)

I LOVE nearly every lab I come across, so I feel the need to share my concerns when something seems really slapped together. I get that we need to take the training wheels off but a little more instruction on what's expected doesn't seem so out of line.

In the real world I assume we're either getting detailed instruction from a boss or have free reign to build something with prewritten tests. Just my two cents :) Keep up the great work Team Learn!

When trying to open the lesson through Learn IDE, I am getting this error:
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "bundler":
In Gemfile:
rails (> 4.2.0) was resolved to 4.2.11, which depends on
bundler (>= 1.3.0, < 2.0)
Current Bundler version:
bundler (2.0.0)
This Gemfile requires a different version of Bundler.
Perhaps you need to update Bundler by running gem install bundler?
Could not find gem 'bundler (>= 1.3.0, < 2.0)', which is required by gem 'rails
(> 4.2.0)', in any of the sources.

Have tried running 'gem install bundler', but it did not help.

Hi! Will someone please post a solution branch for this lab? Thank you!

When solving this lab, there was no solution link provided after passing the tests.
