I have this (admittedly hideous) route in Rails:
scope '/software' do post '/:software_id/:attachment_id/event/*event' => 'software#post_event', as: 'post_event' end
(I would change it but for a legacy API)
And I am writing an RSpec test for it.
rake routes
gives me:
post_event POST /software/:software_id/:attachment_id/event/*event(.:format) api/version1301/software#post_event
My test looks like this:
describe "post_event" do it "should respond with 204" do params = { attachment_id: @attachment.uid, software_id: @license.id } post :post_event, params response.code.should eq "204" end end
But I get the following routing error:
Failure/Error: post :post_event, params ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches {:format=>"json", :name_path=>:api, :attachment=>"7b40ab6a-d522-4a86-b0de-dfb8081e4465", :software_id=>"0000001", :attachment_id=>"7b40ab6a-d522-4a86-b0de-dfb8081e4465", :controller=>"api/version1301/software", :action=>"post_event"} # ./spec/controllers/api/version1301/software_controller_spec.rb:62:in `block (4 levels) in '
How do you handle the route with the wildcard (event)?
(Answering my own question)
This turned out to be a bit of a 'rookie' mistake.
The wildcard (event) part of the route still requires a parameter. I wasn't passing the 'event' parameter, therefore the route was incomplete.
The following code works:
describe "post_event" do it "should respond with 204" do params = { attachment_id: @attachment.uid, software_id: @license.id, event: 'some/event' } post :post_event, params response.code.should eq "204" end end
/*event(.:format)
means it's expecting a parameter.
Special note to self and others:
If you ever have routing errors in Rails, verify that you're passing all the parameters.
