I have a RESTful :new method to present a form. I have implemented this new method to use a params value params[:site\_id]. For example, the URL to this form would be : [http://localhost:3000/reviews/new?site\_id=1005](http://localhost:3000/reviews/new?site_id=1005) Now I need to test this new method. How do I put in the params value in the test? The following line does not seem to do the work. get :new, :site\_id =\> 1005 thanks. – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group.

maybe it is expecting this?? {:review =\> {:site\_id =\> 10000000000000005}} On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 6:45 PM, Vincent P [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > – > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google G. “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group. > To post to this group, send email to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. > For more options, visit this group at [http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en). – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group.

Sorry everyone. Wrong diagnostic. get :new, :site\_id =\> 1005 is the correct way to pass params to “get.” I just messed up my fixtures. That’s all. On Jan 4, 2:16 am, Colin L.

Thanks to your help, I knew I needed to look somewhere else for the problem. Thanks. ---
