Question

What am I forgetting?

routes:

  get "/comingsoon" => "visitors#comingsoon"
  resources :visitors

controller:

class VisitorsController < ApplicationController
  def comingsoon
    @new_visitor = Visitor.new
  end
end

spec:

require 'spec_helper'

describe VisitorsController do
  describe "GET /comingsoon" do
    it "should be happy" do
      get "/comingsoon"
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
end

And here’s the result:

✗ rspec spec/controllers/visitors_controller_spec.rb
F

Failures:

  1) VisitorsController GET /comingsoon should be valid
     Failure/Error: get "/comingsoon"
     ActionController::RoutingError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"visitors", :action=>"/comingsoon"}

Answer 1

In your spec file replace get "/comingsoon"
with get "comingsoon"

When you spec a controller with rspec the operand of the http verb (get, post, put, delete) is an action of the controller rather than a url.
