Using rspec, device and sentient_user

I am using Devise with sentient_user Gem - https://github.com/bokmann/sentient_user. It works fine when I user the current_user in the model. The Problem is that my Rspec test are failing . In My Rspec test I have 

  describe MyModelWhereIUseCurrentUser do

    include Devise::TestHelpers

    before(:each) do 
      @user = Factory(:user)
      sign_in @user
    end 

   describe "current_user should work here" do 
     it "should do something" do 
       # Reference to MyModelWhereIUseCurrentUser and current_user is null there
     end
   end 
 end

Then in the describe block I called the model where I use current user. My Test Fails because current_user is nil. Did I not sign in the user correctly or the problem is in the sentient_user ?

sentient_user adds a make_current method, which can be called on User instance. Your problem can be fixed by adding @user.make_current to before block.
