Question

To be specific, I’m trying to get ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path to recognize a route that is not in routes.rb, for testing purposes.

Is it possible to somehow mock or dynamically add a route? I’m using Rspec with Mocha.

I have absolutely no idea whether will work but you could experiment with something like this:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  rescue_from ActionView::MissingTemplate do |exception|
    # use exception.path to extract the path information
    ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
      # Add your dynamic route using path here and then do a redirect to it
    end
  end

end
