How do we use Pundit helper methods inside of view components test .rb files?

[niladrix719]

Here i am getting policy method not defined

# frozen_string_literal: true

require "rails_helper"

RSpec.describe TableRow::TableRowComponent, type: :component do
  before do
    @primary_mentor = FactoryBot.create(:user)
    @group = FactoryBot.create(:group, primary_mentor: @primary_mentor)
    @assignment = FactoryBot.create(:assignment, group: @group)
    @current_user = FactoryBot.create(:user)
  end

  it "renders the assignment row correctly" do
    render_inline(described_class.new(
                    assignment: @assignment,
                    current_user: @current_user,
                    group_and_policy: { policy: policy(@group), policy_assignment: policy(@assignment), group: @group },
                    deadline_time: { minute: 30, day: 15, year: 2023, second: 0, hour: 12, month: 10 }
                  ))
  end
end

@niladrix719 is their a reason you closed this without an asnwer, if so could you post teh answer here for teh rest of teh community to benefit from.

also if you where having this issue the policy should be stored in helpers as is all global state, so you could either use helper.policy or delegate :policy, to: :helpers to use policy

@reeganviljoen well i was not able to use pundit methods inside of view component , but it got solved after i added this two lines :

include Pundit::Authorization
include Devise::Controllers::Helpers

module TableRow
  class TableRowComponent < ViewComponent::Base
    include Pundit::Authorization
    include Devise::Controllers::Helpers

    def initialize(assignment, current_user, group, deadline_time)
      super
      @assignment = assignment
      @current_user = current_user
      @deadline_minute = deadline_time[:minute]
      @deadline_day = deadline_time[:day]
      @deadline_year = deadline_time[:year]
      @deadline_second = deadline_time[:second]
      @deadline_hour = deadline_time[:hour]
      @deadline_month = deadline_time[:month]
      @group = group
    end
  end
end
