All Ruby tests raising: undefined method `authenticate' for nil:NilClass

Question

Most of my tests are raising the following and I don't understand why. All methods call raise the 'authenticate' error. I've checked the code if there was a method called "authenticate" but there is no such method.

  1) Admin::CommentsController handling GET to index is successful
     Failure/Error: get :index
     undefined method `authenticate!' for nil:NilClass
     # ./spec/controllers/admin/comments_controller_spec.rb:9:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'


  124) PostsController handling GET for a single post should render show template
     Failure/Error: get :show, :year => '2008', :month => '01', :day => '01', :slug => 'a-post'
     undefined method `authenticate' for nil:NilClass
     # ./app/controllers/application_controller.rb:18:in `set_current_user_for_model'
     # ./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:131:in `do_get'
     # ./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:140:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

@jeffehh You need to create a spec/support/devise.rb file as specified here https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#test-helpers to include the devise test helpers #ruby

Thanks once again.
