Question

I have a test in my functional test which asserts the redirect after a remove is correct:

assert_redirected_to terrain_tip_url(terrain_id: entities(:deroos))

This should result in testing whether the url is: http://test.host/terrains/:terrain_id/tips and in the application that is the exact url that is generated. However, in the test case this results in the url being: http://test.host/terrains/:terrain_id/tips/:id, which results in a failing test case:

Expected response to be a redirect to <http://test.host/terrains/446801721/tips/495319887> but was a redirect to <http://test.host/terrains/446801721/tips>

Why does the terrain_tip_url include an id parameter that I never set? How can I prevent this from happening?

Answer 1

Running rake routes should give you some insight here. I believe what you want is terrain_tips_url (index), not terrain_tip_url (show).
