Trouble testing named routes

Rails
1

Hi there,
wondering if anyone could help me here.
I’m trying to test some named routes with the following:

def test_route
opts = { :controller => “artists”, :action => “list” }
assert_routing “/admin/artists”, opts
# as per
http://www.robsanheim.com/2006/07/22/testing-named-routes-or-url_for-in-functional-test/
get :list
url = get general_artist_url # this is line 51 which breaks
assert_equal “/admin/artists”, url
…
end

I have a route (which I know already works…):

map.with_options :controller => ‘artists’ do |a|
a.general_artist ‘admin/artists/:action’, :requirements => { :action
=> /create|list|new|destroy/ }, :defaults => { :action => ‘list’ }
a.named_artist ‘admin/artists/:animate_artist/:action’,
:requirements => { :action => /edit|update|show|preview/ }
a.artist_form ‘admin/artists/:animate_artist/:action/:id’, :action
=> ‘list’
# add other options here if necessary later
end

and I get:

  1. Error:
    test_routes(ArtistsControllerTest):
    ActionController::UnknownAction: No action responded to

    functional/artists_controller_test.rb:51:in `test_routes’

I’m not sure what this test.host is. I’m testing locally on my mac
laptop. My assert_routing is all working fine, but I would like to test
named_routes so that I can be sure they work when I use _url or url_for
in my app.

anyone have any ideas what might be happening here?

thanks

dorian
