Question

While converting from RSpec to Minitest I ran into a slight issue that Google has not helped with one bit, and that’s figuring out how to do something like this:

describe ApplicationController do
  controller do
    def index
      render nothing: true
    end
  end

  it "should catch bad slugs" do
    get :index, slug: "bad%20slug"
    response.code.should eq("403")
  end
end

with Minitest. Is there a way to create anonymous controllers like this inside of Minitest or is there documentation that could help me learn how to test controllers with minitest?

Answer 1

I don’t think anonymous controllers are supported. Instead of using a DSL to create a controller, try defining a controller in your test.

class SlugTestController < ApplicationController
  def index
    render nothing: true
  end
end

describe SlugTestController do
  it "should catch bad slugs" do
    get :index, slug: "bad%20slug"
    response.code.must_equal "403"
  end
end
