I am using Rails 3.1.0 and the recaptcha gem from here. I was running a cucumber test that checks that users can sign up. Sign up requires users to fill out the captcha. I know that my test does not touch the captcha:
When /^I create a new account with email: "(.*?)" and password: "(.*?)"$/ do |email, pw|
click_link "Sign up"
fill_in "Email", :with => email
fill_in "Password", :with => pw
fill_in "Password confirmation", :with => pw
click_button "Sign up"
end
But the test still passes. I check success by verifying that the successful sign up message is present on the page and the recaptcha failure message is not present using this step:
Then /^I should (not )?see "(.*)"$/ do |negate, text|
if negate
page.should_not have_content text
else
page.should have_content text
end
end
The controller is almost identical to the first one suggested here.
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
def create
if verify_recaptcha
super
else
build_resource
clean_up_passwords(resource)
flash.now[:alert] = "There was an error with the recaptcha code below. Please re-enter the code."
flash.delete :recaptcha_error
render :new
end
end
end
Is there any reason why recaptcha would not work in the test environment? It seems to work fine in development.

Just to add to Bens answer and give a potential workaround:
To make sure things don't work (it "fails with recaptcha") in RSpec I've done
before do
Recaptcha.configuration.skip_verify_env.delete('test')
end
after do
Recaptcha.configuration.skip_verify_env << 'test'
end
Thanks Ben

Recaptcha by default does not verify the captcha in the test and cucumber environments (see verify logic, configuration logic, and default value ). If it weren't for this, either testing would be very difficult or the captcha wouldn't be very useful.
