Question

Based on my understanding of the rspec spec, I would expect the following example to pass.

describe ApplicationController do

  controller do
    def test
    end
  end

  it "calls actions" do
    get :test
  end

end

Instead it fails with:

No route matches {:controller=>"anonymous", :action=>"test"}

I’ve even tried defining the route for the “anonymous” controller in the routes file but to no avail. Is there something I’m missing here? This should work, shouldn’t it?

Answer 1

I was having a similar problem. In my case the solution was including an :id parameter in the get request in the test.

I.e.

get :test, :id => 1

Check your routes and see if you are missing a certain parameter (probably :id), then add that to the test.
