If you are getting this error:

ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `authenticate?' for nil:NilClass

in your call to Devise’s user_signed_in? or similar, you probably forgot to add this:

class ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers
end

at the bottom of the test_helper.rb file. Not that that would ever happen to me…
