Hi again,
I figured out the issue. RSpec's route_to wraps Rails' assert_routing,
which checks two things:
- Rails recognizes the given path and routes it to a particular spot
in your application (via assert_recognizes)
- a particular set of options generate a particular path (via assert_generates)
The problem (in my example below) is that the set of options given:
{:controller => "days", :action => "index", :student_id => "1"}
generates the path:
"/days"
not:
"/student/1/days"
Rails doesn't take into account the foreign key of nested resources
when generating a path from a set of options.
Now that I understand this, I can write a test just using
assert_recognizes that passes:
assert_recognizes({:controller => "days", :action => "index",
:student_id => "1"}, "/students/1/days")
Hooray!
I hope this helps someone else out there. It was really confusing me.
Yours,
Trevor
