This belongs to a royal PITA moment, thus needs a worthy post. I’m trying to do a
with my Gemfile as follows:
group :development, :test do
gem 'capybara'
gem 'cucumber'
gem 'cucumber-rails'
gem 'database_cleaner'
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'autotest'
gem 'spork'
gem 'launchy'
end
At the time of writing this, these are the errors that I encountered. Since you are reading this, then I guess something is still wrong here.

Ok, avoid the PITA moment by reading this. And make the changes to the Gemfile like this:
group :development, :test do
gem 'capybara'
gem 'cucumber', "1.0.6"
gem 'cucumber-rails', :git => "https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-rails.git"
gem 'database_cleaner'
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'autotest'
gem 'spork'
gem 'launchy'
end
Now, I understand why the commit message is like this: I EAT YAML AND RUBYGEMS FOR toot…

Devise
dev:photogallery rupert$ rails g devise:install
create config/initializers/devise.rb
create config/locales/devise.en.yml
===============================================================================
Some setup you must do manually if you haven't yet:
1. Setup default url options for your specific environment. Here is an
example of development environment:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
This is a required Rails configuration. In production it must be the
actual host of your application
2. Ensure you have defined root_url to *something* in your config/routes.rb.
For example:
root :to => "home#index"
3. Ensure you have flash messages in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.
For example:
<p class="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<p class="alert"><%= alert %></p>

1. I was trying to get the http headers dump from a mobile phone. So I quickly dump it in a log file to see its contents..
headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'
for header in request.env.select {|k,v| k.match("^HTTP.*")}
logger.info(header[0].split('_',2)[1] + ":" + header[1])
endReference:

2. However, please note that you can actually see everything from the request as parameters.
Parameters: {“MSAG-ADDRESS-PREFIX”=>”aSTARTa”, “format”=>”xml”, “protocol”=>”ussd”, “user-agent”=>”Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.0.1″, “WHOISD-ABONENT”=>”8613520747210″, “action”=>”menu”, “controller”=>”ussd”, “subscriberID”=>”8613520747210″, “WHOISD-USR”=>”-1″, “host”=>”wap.watago.mobi”, “WHOISD-USSD-MESSAGE”=>”", “content-length”=>”0″}
This means we can easily do..
@whoisd_abonent = params['WHOISD-ABONENT'] || nil

The get method kicks off the web request and populates the results into the response. It accepts 4 arguments:
*The action of the controller you are requesting. This can be in the form of a string or a symbol.
*An optional hash of request parameters to pass into the action (eg. query string parameters or post variables).
*An optional hash of session variables to pass along with the request.
*An optional hash of flash values.
Example: Calling the :show action, passing an id of 12 as the params and setting a user_id of 5 in the session:
get(:show, {'id' => "12"}, {'user_id' => 5})
If you want user_id to be ‘nil’, then omit it from your fixtures. I tried setting user_id: nil before, and it turned out to be ’0′ in the database.
# Read about fixtures at http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/Fixtures.html
<% u = UserLogin.create( :password => 'foo') %>
<% u.password=('password') %>
user_no_profile:
email: noprofile@yahoo.com
admin: false
user_id: nil
salt: <%= u.salt %>
salted_password: <%= u.salted_password %>
# Read about fixtures at http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/Fixtures.html
<% u = UserLogin.create( :password => 'foo') %>
<% u.password=('password') %>
user_no_profile:

admin: false
salt: <%= u.salt %>
salted_password: <%= u.salted_password %>
Before pulling your hair out on what went wrong with your functional tests, check the test database if you have the correct values in your records. Remember ’0′ is different from ‘nil’.
