Hi all,
i wrote a Rspec test for my controller and it fails although it should pass.
Here is my Rspec test:
require ''spec_helper''
describe UsersController do
render_views
describe "GET ''show''" do
it "returns http success" do
get ''show''
response.should be_success
end
it "should have the right title" do
get ''show''
response.should have_selector("title",:content => " |
User")
end
end
end
The test fails with this message:
Failures:
1) UsersController GET ''show'' returns http success
Failure/Error: get ''show''
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:controller=>"users",
:action=>"show"}
# ./spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:20:in `block (3 levels) in
<top (required)>''
2) UsersController GET ''show'' should have the right title
Failure/Error: get ''show''
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:controller=>"users",
:action=>"show"}
# ./spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:25:in `block (3 levels) in
<top (required)>''
The controller is already created also the view. I got the method show in the
users controller. I also added the resources :users to my routes.rb.
I am able to reach the page without problems. I also checked the rake routes and
they are available for this test so it should go green.
Maybe someone see an error and can help me out with this. It would be great.
Thanks and regards
Greg

I just started to learn how write tests for the application. describe "GET ''show''" do it "returns http success" do get ''show/1'' response.should be_success end OR can i use a wildcard? describe "GET ''show''" do it "returns http success" do get ''show/:id'' response.should be_success end What makes me pondering is that rake routes is shows that the route is available so how can the id be the problem that the test fails?!

For now your posted proposal worked, after i added some data to the test database (is easy to forget)> >> What makes me pondering is that rake routes >> is shows that the route is available > > Right, but if you look at that line: > >> user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"} > > you see ":id", which means you need to supply that somehow.
