Rails - Sep 2011 - Method get of ActionController::TestCase ignores routes.rb?

Hi!

I''m running into issue which seems to indicate that 
ActionController::TestCase.get() method ignores what I have in routes.rb.
Happens in 3.0.10 and 3.1.0 too.

I have the following RSpec2 test of my XmlRpcController#index action:

it "should get nothing in response to GET request" do
  get :index
  response.response_code.should == 400 #bad_request
end

And the only line related to this route in routes.rb is:

post ''rpc'', :to => "xml_rpc#index"

''rake routes'' also shows only this route defined.

As a result when I run this test that action actually DOES get executed! I 
judge this by putting a simple puts inside it) and also a log contains:

"Processing by XmlRpcController#index as HTML"

Also if I go to ''localhost:3000/rpc'' in browser - it says
"no route found":
just like it should. But tests have other behavior and this puzzles me...

Can anybody hint my why does this happen? I''m only starting learning
about
RoR :) Earlier it seemed to me that these ''get/post'' methods
of TestCase do
respect routes.rb...

Am I missing something obvious? :)

With this controller:


class PagesController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end

  def home
  end

  def contact
  end

end



...and this single route:



T2App::Application.routes.draw do
  root :to => "pages#index"
end



...and these tests:



require ''spec_helper''

describe PagesController do

  describe "POST ''contact''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      post ''contact''
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

  describe "GET ''contact''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get ''contact''
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

end



I get these results:



$ bundle exec rspec spec/
No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead ...
FF

Failures:

  1) PagesController POST ''contact'' should be successful
     Failure/Error: post ''contact''
     ActionController::RoutingError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"pages",
:action=>"contact"}
     # ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:6:in `block (3 
levels) in <top (required)>''

  2) PagesController GET ''contact'' should be successful
     Failure/Error: get ''contact''
     ActionController::RoutingError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"pages",
:action=>"contact"}
     # ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:21:in `block (3 
levels) in <top (required)>''

Finished in 0.09563 seconds
2 examples, 2 failures

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:5 # PagesController 
POST ''contact'' should be successful
rspec ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:20 # PagesController 
GET ''contact'' should be successful



If I add a ''post'' route to routes.db:



T2App::Application.routes.draw do
  root :to => "pages#index"

  post "pages/contact"

end



I get these results:


$ bundle exec rspec spec/
No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead ...
..

Finished in 0.11245 seconds
2 examples, 0 failures



I I change the ''post'' route to a ''get''
route:


T2App::Application.routes.draw do
  root :to => "pages#index"

  get "pages/contact"
end



I get these results:


$ bundle exec rspec spec/
No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead ...
..

Finished in 0.11352 seconds
2 examples, 0 failures




So to me it looks like if you define a get route or a post route, then 
rspec allows both get and post requests.

The following tests *do* work as expected:



  describe "GET ''contact''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      { :get => ''pages/contact'' }.should be_routable
    end
  end

  describe "POST ''contact''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      { :post => ''pages/contact'' }.should be_routable
    end
  end



For instance, with this route:

T2App::Application.routes.draw do
  get "pages/contact"
end


I get these results:

$ bundle exec rspec spec/
No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead ...
..F

Failures:

  1) PagesController POST ''contact'' should be successful
     Failure/Error: { :post => ''pages/contact'' }.should
be_routable
       expected {:post=>"pages/contact"} to be routable
     # ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:28:in `block (3 
levels) in <top (required)>''

Finished in 0.12608 seconds
3 examples, 1 failure

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:27 # PagesController 
POST ''contact'' should be successful

Wow, that matcher works indeed!
Thank you very much for analysis and for a solution!
