require authorization before every access

edit app/controllers/application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :authorize
 
    # ...
 
  protected
 
    def authorize
      unless User.find_by_id(session[:user_id])
        redirect_to login_url, notice: "Please log in"
      end
    end
end

whitelist the sessions and store controllers

edit app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :authorize
edit app/controllers/store_controller.rb
class StoreController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :authorize

whitelist cart operations

edit app/controllers/carts_controller.rb
class CartsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :authorize, only: [:create, :update, :destroy]
    def invalid_cart
      logger.error "Attempt to access invalid cart #{params[:id]}"
      redirect_to store_url, notice: 'Invalid cart'
    end
end

whitelist line_item operations

edit app/controllers/line_items_controller.rb
class LineItemsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :authorize, only: :create

whitelist order operations

edit app/controllers/orders_controller.rb
class OrdersController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :authorize, only: [:new, :create]

Cause all tests to do an implicit login

edit test/test_helper.rb
class ActiveSupport::TestCase
  # ...
 
  # Add more helper methods to be used by all tests here...
  def login_as(user)
    session[:user_id] = users(user).id
  end
 
  def logout
    session.delete :user_id
  end
 
  def setup
    login_as :one if defined? session
  end
end
