RSpec 2, Rails 3, and SSL routes

Testing RSpec
1

Hi all,

This is probably a stupid question, but I can’t figure out how to do
this…

If I have some routes which require SSL, how do I test that with
RSpec? For example:

routes.rb

scope :constraints => { :protocol => “https” } do
match ‘/foos.(:format)’ => ‘foos#index’, :via => :get, :constraints
=> { :format => /(json|xml)/ }
end

In my routing spec, I’ve tried the following variants with no luck:

describe “routing to foos” do
it “routes /foos.json to foos#index” do
{ :get => “/foos.json”, :protocol => “https” }.should route_to(
:controller => “foos”,
:action => “index”,
:format => “json”
)
end

describe “routing to foos” do
it “routes /foos.json to foos#index” do
{ :get => “/foos.json” }.should route_to(
:controller => “foos”,
:action => “index”,
:format => “json”,
:protocol => “https”
)
end

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is an open issue in the Rails tracker about this [1].
assert_recognizes, to which “should route_to” delegates, does not yet
support constraints. Sadly, this means there is no good way to do this
at the moment.

OK, cool. I’ll avoid banging my head against the wall in the mean
time. :slight_smile:

Thanks alot David.

Actually, Rails seems to correctly support some routing constraints
in tests (:format being one), but not others (:protocol being one).
I’m coming up with a failing test which I’ll attach to that Rails
ticket, but just noting it here as an FYI to others…

I too came across same situation (i.e., testing ssl request in rails
with specs).
Thinking there should be a solution.
