How can I test an expected 404 response on a private resource page out of production?

I have an application where users are authors of objects called "Binders". This is a private resource where one user shouldn't be able to view the binder of another user unless it is being shared. I would like my application to 404 whenever a user tries to do such a thing. Here is what I have tried so far.



class BindersController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
before_action :set_user, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :authenticate_access, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

# ...

private
def authenticate_access
if current_user != @binder.user
respond_to do |format|
format.html head :missing
format.json head :missing
end
end
end
end


My problem is that Rails prefers to 500 in development and test. This makes this impossible to check with a test like the following.



class BindersControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
include Warden::Test::Helpers

setup do
@alices_binder = binders(:alices_binder)
@alice = users(:alice)
@eve = users(:eve)
end

teardown do
Warden.test_reset!
end

test 'binders#show should be missing if accessed by wrong user'
login_as @eve, scope: :user
get binder_url(@alices_binder)
assert_response :missing
end
end


How can I properly test this behavior out of production?

  • change head :missing by head :not_found

  • on a side note, the correct error code that you should be using in those cases is 403 Forbidden
