I am testing a controller which has actions rendering views in format .js.erb . The tests on these actions raise the following error :
Minitest::UnexpectedError: ActionController::InvalidCrossOriginRequest: Security warning: an embedded tag on another site requested protected JavaScript. If you know what you're doing, go ahead and disable forgery protection on this action to permit cross-origin JavaScript embedding.
The forgery protection causes this error, as when I put an exception on these actions its ok, but I dont want to disable it.
Here is my controller :
class TasksController < ApplicationController
def new
# TODO add blah later
@task = Task.new
render 'tasks/show_form.js.erb'
end
def create
# FIXME there is bug here
@task = Task.new(task_params)
@task.user = current_user
authorize! :create, @task
save_task
end
def edit
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
authorize! :edit, @task
render 'tasks/show_form.js.erb'
end
def update
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
@task.assign_attributes(task_params)
authorize! :update, @task
save_task
end
def destroy
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
authorize! :destroy, @task
@task.destroy
@tasks = Task.accessible_by(current_ability)
end
private
def save_task
if @task.save
@tasks = Task.accessible_by(current_ability)
render 'tasks/hide_form.js.erb'
else
render 'tasks/show_form.js.erb'
end
end
def task_params
params.require(:task).permit(:title, :note, :completed)
end
end
Here is my test for this controller :
require 'test_helper'
class TasksControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
#include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers
def setup
@task = tasks(:one)
@password = "password"
@confirmed_user = User.create(email: "#{rand(50000)}@example.com",
password: @password,
confirmed_at: "2020-02-01 11:35:56")
@unconfirmed_user = User.create(email: "#{rand(50000)}@example.com",
password: @password,
confirmed_at: "")
sign_in(user: @confirmed_user, password: @password)
end
test "should get new" do
get new_task_url
assert_response :success
end
test "should create task" do
assert_difference('Task.count') do
post tasks_url, params: {task: {title: 'Dont fail test !'}}
end
assert_redirected_to task_url(Task.last)
end
test "should get edit" do
get edit_task_url(@task)
assert_response :success
end
test "should update task" do
patch task_url(@task), params: {task: {title: 'updated'}}
assert_redirected_to task_url(@task)
article.reload
assert_equal "updated", article.title
end
test "should destroy task" do
assert_difference('Task.count', -1) do
delete task_url(@task)
end
assert_redirected_to tasks_url
end
end
Do any of you has an idea on how to correct this error ?
Thank you in advance
The solution was to put at the beginning of my controller
skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token, :only => [:edit, :new]
Hope this can help someone
