Question

I have the following test:

 it "should respond with a json object" do
            xhr :post, :create, :upload => @attr_upload, :format => :json
          end  

Here is my routes:

resources :uploads, :except =>[:new, :show]

I have a form that a user can upload images using the jquery-file-upload plugin:

<%= form_for @upload, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<div class="fileupload-buttonbar">
    <label class="fileinput-button">
        <span>Add files... or drop them to upload</span>
            <%= f.file_field :photo, :id => "upload_photo" %>                
    </label>
</div>
<% end %>

In my controller I load the file and generate a json response:

def create
    @upload = Upload.new(params[:upload])
    respond_to do |format|
      if @upload.save
        set_current_upload(@upload)
        format.json {render :json => [ @upload.to_jq_upload ].to_json}
      else
        format.json {render :json => [ @upload.to_jq_upload.merge({ :error => "custom_failure" }) ].to_json}
      end
    end
  end

When I run my test I am getting the following:

No route matches {:action=>"update", :controller=>"uploads", :id=>#<Upload id: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, photo_file_name: nil, photo_content_type: nil, photo_file_size: nil, photo_updated_at: nil, uploadable_id: nil, uploadable_type: nil>}

Can anyone help me get this test working?
I am submitting to the create action so why is it trying to go to the update action?

Any help would be appreciated I have been working on this for two days.

The request goes on update action, not create, so double check your templates with generated forms, their URLs
