Restful_authentication - some default tests failing

Rails
1

Hey all

I just installed restful_authentication in a new project and have run
it’s specs. I’m getting a few failures. Just looking at the first, i
can’t understand why it’s failing - can anyone see?

#failing line from test
route_for(:controller => ‘users’, :action => ‘update’, :id =>
‘1’).should == “/users/1”

#reported reason for failure
The recognized options <{“action”=>“show”, “id”=>“1”,
“controller”=>“users”}> did not match <{“action”=>“update”, “id”=>“1”,
“controller”=>“users”}>, difference: <{“action”=>“update”}>
If you’re expecting this failure, we suggest
{:get=>"/users/1"}.should_not be_routable

So, it looks like “/users/1” with a put isn’t pointing to update. But,
when i do rake routes i see

user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=>“users”,
:action=>“show”}
PUT /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=>“users”,
:action=>“update”}
DELETE /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=>“users”,
:action=>“destroy”}

It looks like the route should work. And, in the console i can do this:

include Spec::Rails::Example::RoutingHelpers
=> Object

params_from(:put, ‘/users/1’)
=> {:action=>“update”, :controller=>“users”, :id=>“1”}

So, i don;t understand why the test is failing. Any ideas?

thanks - max

Do yourself a favor and take it right back out again. Restful_auth is
based on unmaintainable, untestable generated crap code; it has no place
in today’s Rails ecosystem. Use Authlogic instead, which is actually
designed properly.

Thanks Marnen, AuthLogic does look good actually.
