Hi all,
A relative newcomer to routes here - I have a controller on which I
would like to be able to specify only a couple RESTful operations (my
example is for a RESTful user sessions controller, where it only makes
sense to (1) create a session, and (2) destroy a session).
Using ''resources'' on a controller in the routes file gives all
seven
methods so I''m not using that; I only need the two above, so my routes
file looks like this:
match ''sessions'' =>
''sessions#create'', :via => :put
match ''sessions'' =>
''sessions#destroy'', :via => :delete
Essentially I want a user to send a put (this is an idempotent
operation) to the sessions collection URL, with a params hash of
username and password. And calling delete on the same URL will log out
the session.
However, my RSpec test, which looks like this:
describe "PUT ''new''" do
# (NB this user is created in the ''before'' method)
it "should be successful" do
put ''new'', {:name =>
''a_user_logging_in'', :password =>
''a_password''}
response.should be_success
end
it "should not be successful with a wrong username or password" do
put ''new'', {:name =>
''an_incorrect_user'', :password =>
''a_password''}
response.should_not be_success
end
end
Does not pass as the routing fails! Here is the RSpec error:
Failure/Error: put ''new'', {:name =>
''a_user_logging_in'', :password =>
''a_password''}
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:name=>"a_user_logging_in",
:password=>"a_password", :controller=>"sessions",
:action=>"new"}
So clearly I''ve made an error here somewhere with my Routes, can
someone
help me achieve what I''m after (i.e. just a put and delete on a
collection, which calls create and destroy on the controller?).
Many many thanks for your kind help,
- Nex
