On top of Devise and Omniauth we're now using Octokit to perform the organization checks. It should've been a simple integration, and technically it was, our code worked fine in a live environment. However, our tests all fell flat.

I used this and this awesome pair of blog posts to scaffold my implementation.

Creating the stubs for our tests took a long, long time to perfect. I tried all the suggestions from the official docs and the VCR gem but ran in to too many problems.

In the end I added a simple return true if ... to the top of the authorization method:

def authenticate_organization
  return true if ENV['RAILS_ENV']="test"
  client = Octokit::Client.new :access_token => auth_hash['credentials']['token']
  return client.org_member?(ENV['ORG_NAME'], client.user.login)
end
