These methods test that the routes for resources defined in routes.rb are working as expected. Call them from your functional (controller) tests.
Add the following 3 methods to test/test_helper.rb (updated for Rails 1.2.5 which no longer uses semicolons as a separator for the edit action):
def assert_routing_for_resource(controller, skip=[], nesting=[])
routes = [
["new",'/new',{},:get], ["create",'',{},:post],
["show",'',{},:get], ["edit",'/edit',{},:get],
["update",'',{},:put], ["destroy",'',{},:delete]
]
check_resource_routing(controller, routes, skip, nesting)
end
def assert_routing_for_resources(controller, skip=[], nesting=[])
routes = [
["index",'',{},:get], ["new",'/new',{},:get], ["create",'',{},:post],
["show",'/1',{:id=>'1'},:get], ["edit",'/1/edit',{:id=>'1'},:get],
["update",'/1',{:id=>'1'},:put], ["destroy",'/1',{:id=>'1'},:delete]
]
check_resource_routing(controller, routes, skip, nesting)
end
def check_resource_routing(controller, routes, skip=[], nesting=[])
prefix = nesting.join('s/1/')
unless prefix.blank?
prefix += "s/1/"
end
params = {}
nesting.each do |param|
params["#{param}_id".to_sym] = '1'
end
routes.each do |pair|
unless skip.include? pair[0]
assert_generates("/#{prefix}#{controller}#{pair[1]}",
{:controller=>controller,
:action=>pair[0]}.merge(pair[2]).merge(params), {}, {},
"Failed generation of resource route for action #{pair[0]} /#{prefix}#{controller}#{pair[1]}")
assert_recognizes(
{:controller=>controller,
:action=>pair[0]}.merge(pair[2]).merge(params),
{:path=>"/#{prefix}#{controller}#{pair[1]}", :method=>pair[3]},
{}, "Failed to recognize resource route for path #{pair[3]}:/#{prefix}#{controller}#{pair[1]}")
end
end
end
EXAMPLES
You can specify actions to 'skip' (if you have a special route for that action).
If using nested resources, set the nesting array (use singular strings).
So, if you have the following in routes.rb:
map.make_thing '/make', :controller=>'things', :action=>'new'
map.resources :nests do |nest|
nest.resources :things
end
map.resource :foo
then you can use the following in things_controller_test.rb:
def test_resource_routing
assert_routing_for_resources 'things', ['new'], ['nest']
assert_routing_for_resource 'foo'
end
