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:
Test for routes generated by map.resource (singular).
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
Test for routes generated by map.resources (plural).
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
Check that the expected paths will be generated by a resource, and
that
the expected params will be generated by paths defined by a
resource.
routes is array of [action, url string after controller, extra
params].
def check_resource_routing(controller, routes, skip=[], nesting=[])
set a prefix for nested resources
prefix = nesting.join(‘s/1/’)
unless prefix.blank?
prefix += “s/1/”
end
Add params for nested resources.
For each ‘nest’, include a “:nest_id=>‘1’” param.
params = {}
nesting.each do |param|
params[“#{param}_id”.to_sym] = ‘1’
end
Test each of the standard resource routes.
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
