From: http://rdoc.info/projects/binarylogic/authlogic

require "authlogic/test_case" # include at the top of test_helper.rb
setup :activate_authlogic # run before tests are executed
UserSession.create(users(:whomever)) # logs a user in

Try this first:

Authlogic::Session::Base.controller = Authlogic::ControllerAdapters::RailsAdapter.new(self)

I got around this error using advice from user239662's answer (it wasn't clear to me hence I'm posting this solution). My Cucumber step definition now looks like this:

When /^I am logged in as "(.*)"$/ do |user|
  @current_user = User.make!(:username => user)
  require 'authlogic/test_case'
  activate_authlogic
  @current_session = UserSession.create!(@current_user)
end

how can i authenticate users out of rails with authlogic?
