Usage

Put rucaptcha in your Gemfile:

gem 'rucaptcha'

Create config/initializers/rucaptcha.rb

RuCaptcha.configure do
  # Number of chars, default: 4
  self.len = 4
  # Image font size, default: 45
  self.font_size = 45
  # Cache generated images in file store, this is config files limit, default: 100
  # set 0 to disable file cache.
  self.cache_limit = 100
  # Custom captcha code expire time if you need, default: 2 minutes
  # self.expires_in = 120
  # Color style, default: :colorful, allows: [:colorful, :black_white]
  # self.style = :colorful
  # [Requirement]
  # Store Captcha code where, this config more like Rails config.cache_store
  # default: Rails application config.cache_store
  # But RuCaptcha requirements cache_store not in [:null_store, :memory_store, :file_store]
  self.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
end

Edit config/routes.rb, add the following code:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  ...
  mount RuCaptcha::Engine => "/rucaptcha"
  ...
end

Controller app/controller/account_controller.rb

class AccountController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])
    if verify_rucaptcha?(@user) && @user.save
      redirect_to root_path, notice: 'Sign up successed.'
    else
      render 'account/new'
    end
  end
end

TIP: Sometime you may need keep last verified captcha code in session on verify_rucaptcha? method call, you can use keep_session: true. For example: Verify_rucaptcha? (@user, keep_session: true).

View app/views/account/new.html.erb

<form>
  ...
  <div class="form-group">
    <%= rucaptcha_input_tag(class: 'form-control', placeholder: 'Input Captcha') %>
    <%= rucaptcha_image_tag(alt: 'Captcha') %>
  </div>
  ...
</form>

And if you are use Devise, you can read this to add validation: RuCaptcha with Devise.

Write your test skip captcha validation

for RSpec

describe 'sign up and login', type: :feature do
  before do
    allow_any_instance_of(ActionController::Base).to receive(:verify_rucaptcha?).and_return(true)
  end

  it { ... }
end

for MiniTest

class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  def sign_in(user)
    ActionController::Base.any_instance.stubs(:verify_rucaptcha?).returns(true)
    post user_session_path \
         'user[email]'    => user.email,
         'user[password]' => user.password
  end
end
