No route matches error with application_controller spec
- by Eric M.
I have an application_controller spec that is failing since I removed the controller/action route from routes.rb. I get the following error:
No route matches {:controller=>"application", :action=>"index"}
I had many tests fail in the same way, but was able to fix them by including the correct parameters in the get call. So for instance, if I wanted to get the standard show route for posts in my spec, I had to change
get :show to get :show, :id => '1'
Unfortunately, I'm not sure now what to pass along for the application controller specs. I've included my test below.
describe ApplicationController do
it "should find the latest published posts and assign them for the view" do
Post.should_receive(:latest).and_return(@posts)
get :index
assigns[:posts].should == @posts
end
it "should find the latest approved comments and assign them for the view" do
Comment.should_receive(:latest).and_return(@comments)
get :index
assigns[:comments].should == @comments
end
end
