rspec users - Sep 2010 - route_to to test root route

I am working on a Rails 3 application using RSPec 2.beta.20.

I am having the following routes in my routes.rb

routes.rb
------------
resources :projects
root :to => ''projects#index''

I am trying to test both the routes. But while testing root route I am
getting a failure :

it ''should route root to projects#index'' do
  {:get => ''/''}.should route_to(:controller =>
''projects'', :action =>
''index'')
end

But the above example is failing since route_to is expecting a route like
''/projects''. Is there a way to test root routes which are also
configured
elsewhere in the routes.rb.

route_to delegates to assert_routing, which only passes if both assert_generates
and assert_recognizes passes. There was a lengthy thread about this [1] but we
never resolved the API deficiency. Obviously we need something before a final
rspec-rails-2 release, but in the mean time you can always use the built-in
rails assertions. In this case, you''d use:

  assert_recognizes({:controller => "projects", :action =>
"index"}, {:method => "get", :path => "/"})

Cheers,
David
