I have the following route: [code] map.connect '':platform_filter/:software/:version/:platform/:distribution_channel/:id'', :controller => ''user/version'', :platform_filter => /all/, :platform => /windows|macintosh|unix|linux/, :distribution_channel => /Download|download/, :action => ''download'', :id => /\d+/ [/code] Here is my test for this route [code] def test_product_download_before_authentication() url = "all/matlab/r2006a/windows/download/1" opts = {:controller => "user/version", :distribution_channel => "download", :action => "download", :version => r2006a, :software => matlab, :platform_filter => "all", :platform => "windows", :id => 1} assert_generates(url, opts) assert_recognizes(opts, url) assert_routing(url, opts) @request.env[''PATH_INFO''] = url post(:download, opts) assert_response(:redirect) assert_template(nil) end [/code] The test passes without failure! However, if I comment out the assert_generates and the assert_recognizes, the test fails. I was under the impression that assert_rounting is just a wrapper around assert_generates and assert_recognizes so I''m totally confused by this. Any insight from others would be greatly appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
