I create all the routes of my program manually and so do with my rspec tests of course. Generally, my routes and tests work fine, but i have a problem with the test for my characters controller. The route is :
scope :path => '/characters', :controller => :characters do get '/' => :show, :as => 'user_character' end The /characters works fine when tested with my browser. Everything seems fine. But, the test :
require 'spec_helper' require 'devise/test_helpers' describe CharactersController do login_user describe "when it GETS 'show'" do it "should render the template and be successful" do get :show response.should render_template(:show) response.should be_success end end end Fails with the error :
1) CharactersController when it GETS 'show' should render the template and be successful Failure/Error: get :show ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches {:controller=>"characters", :action=>"show"} # ./spec/controllers/characters_controller_spec.rb:9 All my controllers have similar tests that work fine. Why does this not work ?
IMPORTANT EDIT :
Just saw that if i turn Spork off, the test passes ! Why is this happening ? Does Spork need to be restarted every time a new test is added ?
