View specs: Devise overrides the helper "resource_class" of InheritedResources

I have the following view spec:

RSpec.describe "boilerplates/index", type: :view do
  it "Doesn't render empty topic" do
    assign :boilerplates, [create(:boilerplate_original, topic: nil)]
    render

    expect(rendered).to have_css('.topic', text: '')
  end
end

The view has the following line of code:

resource_class.status.values.each do ...

This line breaks in specs, as it tells me:

undefined method `status' for #<Class:0x00000104cb3ec8>

When investigating further, the resource_class (which comes from InheritedResources) points to User, but normally, it points to Boilerplate.

It seems that Devise overrides the resource_class helper method in view specs. How can this be prevented?

Are you using Devise as well? – max Aug 17 '15 at 11:13
Yes I do. I also added some new info to the thread. – Joshua Muheim Aug 17 '15 at 11:17
My theory is that the Devise `resource_class` method is overwriting `InheritedResources`. But you would need to look at the stack trace and see which module is being called. – max Aug 17 '15 at 11:23
How could I look at the stack trace? The stack trace of the error doesn't list inherited resources nor device gem. – Joshua Muheim Aug 17 '15 at 11:45
