NoMethodError: undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass

Question

I want to testing my controller posts and when I running Rspec test, shell show me an error

 Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass
 # /home/weare138/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/gems/devise-3.4.1/lib/devise/test_helpers.rb:24:in `setup_controller_for_warden'

this is my spec/requests/posts_spec.rb

require 'rails_helper'

describe "Posts" do
  describe "GET /posts" do
    it "works! (now write some real specs)" do
      user = FactoryGirl.create(:user, role: 'admin')
      sign_in user
    end
  end
end

UPD

rails_helper

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require 'spec_helper'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
ActiveRecord::Migration.maintain_test_schema!

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :request
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!
end

how fix?

Although the question is quite old, but here's the solution for request specs. Try using:

config.include Devise::Test::IntegrationHelpers, type: :request

instead of

config.include Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers, type: :request

It's an issue with Devise::TestHlepers, as it can be seen from stacktrace.

Duplicate of this question (also check related questions too).

Are you added those helpers in your test env, like it's specified at readme https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#test-helpers ? – rastasheep Dec 26 '14 at 08:59
Have you tried to specify test type in your test file like `describe "Posts", :type => :request do` – rastasheep Dec 26 '14 at 09:13
