Bypass methods in Story Runner

Story runner or integration testing doesn’t support the Stubs (or Mocks).

So, How can we handle the bypass methods in story runner?

Just follow the below steps to bypass the methods.

1. Check which method you want to bypass?

2. Add the corresponding method the corresponding helper file or the corresponding file

Example: I want to bypass the session_required required method of the module XXX.

So , I have copied the below code in the story_helper.rb method
It will return true.

#Bypass the before filters
module XXX
def session_required
@current_user = User.find(1)
return true
end

Thats it, You have restricted the methods in Story runner
