Rspec. How to test current_user method

I want to test current_user method from my applicaton_controller:

describe ApplicationController do
  let(:user) { build(:user) }

  context "when authorized" do
      before do
        sign_in :current_user, user
      end

    it "#current_user" do
      expect(controller.send(:current_user)).to eq(user)
    end
end

application_controller:

  protected
  def current_user
    super || (@guest ||= Guest.new(session))
  end

but I've get an error:

Failure/Error: expect(controller.send(:current_user)).to eq(user)

   expected: #<Users::User id: nil, email: "", encrypted_password: "$2a$04$Xp6Xl33OQ5xoV6w8t9wgtuxQ4ngmN40yBFAHUNKVvCp...", reset_password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign_in_count: 0, current_sign_in_at: nil, last_sign_in_at: nil, current_sign_in_ip: nil, last_sign_in_ip: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, name: "Mr Anderson 1", phone: nil, phone_confirmation_token: "ABCDE", phone_confirmation_sent_at: nil, phone_confirmed_at: nil, unconfirmed_phone: "+375291234567", email_confirmation_token: nil, email_confirmed_at: nil, email_confirmation_sent_at: nil, unconfirmed_email: "[email protected]", phone_confirmation_attempts_count: 0, email_confirmation_attempts_count: 0>

You can do something like this, if you've current_user method defined in your helper and calling it in the controller.

Example : 

 @todos = current_user.todos.new("something")

in test file 

expect(current_user).to be_present
expect(user_signed_in?).to be_true

I'm assuming you're wrapping the current_user method from Devise (you're calling super) and you're using the devise test helper sign_in. It needs the scope or a user object as its first argument. Change your before in your test to:

before do
  sign_in :user, user
end

or just:

before do
  sign_in user
end

The default scope in Devise is :user and you don't need to tell sign_in unless it's different.
