Question

When I run this unit test:

require 'test_helper'

class MyControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
   test "my action works" do
     get(:my_action, {'url' => "http://localhost:8090/"})
   end
end

I get this error:

NoMethodError: undefined method 'request=' for #<MyController:0x5150896>

Any idea?

EDIT this action only has POST and not GET but I see the same results when I change to post in the unit test

Answer 1

I’ve seen this happen when the name of the controller in the test is misspelled. Are you sure that for this example the controller is named MyController?
