Rails - Jun 2007 - Functional Tests Fail - No URL can be generated for hash

Hi,

I''m just learning Ruby and Rails.  I have developed a Rails
application,
but not using the creation scripts that come with the rails
distribution.  Consequently, no test scaffolding is available to me, and
I''m trying to write my functional tests from scratch.

I have what might be considered a standard plain old controller
(dashboard_controller.rb) that I''m trying to test.  There are many
actions, but one in particular simply forwards to an introduction page.

Here is the code for that action:

def intro
end

Real simple.  Just returns and I should visit dashboard/intro.rhtml.

My unit test looks like:

require ''dashboard_controller''
require ''action_controller/test_process''
require ''action_controller/assertions''

# Raise errors beyond the default web-based presentation
class DashboardController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end

class DashboardControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @controller = DashboardController.new
    @request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
    @response = ActionController::TestResponse.new
  end

  # let''s test our main page
  def test_intro
    get :intro
    assert_response :success
  end

end

And when I run the test via the suite, I get the following error:

Loaded suite rails-app/tests/functional/suite
Started
E
Finished in 0.054555 seconds.

  1) Error:
test_intro(DashboardControllerTest):
ActionController::RoutingError: No url can be generated for the hash

    ./rails-app/tests/functional/tc_dummy_test.rb:18:in `test_intro''

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors


I''ve looked at the rails code generating this error, but like I said
I''m
new to this.  This error is being thrown from some autogenerated code.
I''m looking through the code generator, but I haven''t been
able to
figure out what I''m doing wrong.  I''m hoping this is as simple
as an
omitted "requires" statement.

Any ideas?
