What's my problem ? named resources

Rails
1

Hi all,

I really have a bad problem. I can’t make named resource paths to work.

If I use this:
def test_can_show
get :show, :party_id => @bob.id, :id => @address.id
assert_select
“#address_contact_route_#{@address.id}_line1_edit[url=?]”,
address_path(@bob, @address, :txt)
end

I get a big bang error:

  1. Error:
    test_can_show(AddressContactRoutesControllerTest::PartyWithAddressTest):
    NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
    The error occurred while evaluating nil.to_sym

My route is properly defined in routes:
map.resources :parties, :path_prefix => “/admin” do |parties|
parties.resources :addresses, :controller => “address_contact_routes”
end

So, what’s my error ? Can anyone spot it ?

Thanks !

hey François (welcome back from vacation),

I’ve seen that with multiple params to the url helpers - I’ve solved
it by identifying the required params with a symbol.

so address_path(:address_id => @address, @bob, :txt) # is :txt the
respond_to format?

this is the general solution, but you may have to add symbols to
other params.

cheers,
Jodi

Thanks for your response. In fact, I found my solution for a slightly
related problem. You can get the gory details on my blog:

The solution was to use the correct named route:

formatted_address_path(@address, @bob, :txt)

is the route to use.

Thanks for your time, Jodi.
