rspec users - Feb 2012 - nested route not receiving :id parameter within controller spec

I''ve got a share method in my controller, and I have the following
spec:

  describe PostsController do
 
    describe "#share" do
 
      it "doesn''t blow up" do
        post :share, :id => @post.id
      end

    # ... etc

And... It blows up!

Failures:

  1) PostsController#share shares
     Failure/Error: post :share
     ActionController::RoutingError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"posts",
:action=>"share"}
     # ./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:7

My routes has:

  resources :posts do
    post :share, :on => :member
  end

rake routes shows:

  share_post POST   /posts/:id/share(.:format) {:action=>"share",
:controller=>"posts"}

...

Why is it ignoring the :id parameter in my test and therefore blowing up?

Thanks.

The id belongs to post so your test line should be: 
post :share, :post_id => @post.id

I tried that and got the same result, plus rake routes says:

  share_post POST /posts/:id/share(.:format) {:action=>"share",
:controller=>"posts"}

NOT

  share_post POST /posts/:post_id/share(.:format)
{:action=>"share", :controller=>"posts"}

So I don''t see how that can be the case...

Does @post actually have an id? I believe the :id key will not be present if the
value is nil.

Sorry, too quick to answer.
Next clue is the fact that the RSpec error is ignoring your id attribute. try:
post :share, :id => 42
and see if that gets you past the current error

Do you see any different behavior using a Rails functional test?
