rspec users - Oct 2010 - Understanding routing specs that use constraints

Hello all,

I''m trying to perform a pretty simple routing constraint

Here are my routes, my constraint, and my spec. http://gist.github.com/649430

As you can see, I''ve attempted to stub my RootConstraints.matches?
method to just return true or false.  However, this doesn''t seem to
work correctly.  Even when I stub RootConstraints.matches? to return
false, it still always routes root to :controller => "lists",
:action
=> "show", :id => "name".

Here is the error that I receive:  http://gist.github.com/649432


Can anybody enlighten me as to why this happens?

Thanks,

Joe

The issue is within assert_recognizes in Rails (to which route_to delegates).

See http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/closed#issue/239 and
