Rails 3 Rspec 2 problem with :locale and RESTfull path

Question

I have a problem with edit_user_path(user) in my rspec file:

it "should forward to the requested page after signin" do
  user = Factory(:user)
  visit edit_user_path(user)

  fill_in :email,    :with => user.email
  fill_in :password, :with => user.password
  click_button

  response.should render_template('users/edit')
end

I get this error:

Failure/Error: visit edit_user_path(user)
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"users", :locale=>#<User id: 1, name: "Max Mustermann", email: "[email protected]", encrypted_password: "1b0befc5caf12c2abf53d99sdfsd5ba15ebe28362eae21b2fb3...", salt: "331ca07444f5dcee76605bsdfasd95c833b7d5135b36a253723...", created_at: "2011-02-03 18:54:34", updated_at: "2011-02-03 18:54:34">}

I have no clue why it uses the user as :locale and why there is no :id with the user.id. I use :locale to set the language, e.g. localhost:3000/en/home or localhost:3000/de/home.

This is my routs.rb:

Hoapp::Application.routes.draw do

scope '(:locale)', :locale => /de|en/  do

  resources :users
  resources :sessions, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy]
  resources :hotels, :only => [:create, :destroy]

  root                      :to => 'pages#home'
  match '/signup',          :to => 'users#new'
  match '/signin',          :to => 'sessions#new'
  match '/signout',         :to => 'sessions#destroy'
  match '/about',           :to => 'pages#about'
  match '/blog',            :to => 'pages#blog'
  match '/contact',         :to => 'pages#contact'
  match '/help',            :to => 'pages#help'
  match '/overview',        :to => 'pages#overview'
  match '/preview',         :to => 'pages#preview'
  match '/settings',        :to => 'pages#settings'

  match 'm',                :to => 'mobile#home'
  match 'apartments',       :to => 'mobile#apartments'
  match 'apartment_info',   :to => 'mobile#apartment_info'
  match 'apartment_images', :to => 'mobile#apartment_images'
  match 'apartment_price',  :to => 'mobile#apartment_price'
  match 'wellness',         :to => 'mobile#wellness'
  match 'test',             :to => 'mobile#test'

  scope "m" do
    resources :requests, :only => [:new, :create]
    match 'request_sent', :to => 'requests#sent'
  end

  match ':vanity_url/', :to => "mobile#home"
end

Answer 1

Maybe url_for is unable to infer the right parameters when you use a locale? Try it this way:

visit edit_user_path(:id=>user.id)

Answer 2

Including this in spec_helper.rb worked for me:

config.before do
  default_url_options[:locale] = I18n.default_locale
end

Answer 3

Ok I found a way to fix this in the tests (cf. https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/255)

I put this code in spec_helper.rb

class ActionView::TestCase 
  class TestController
    def default_url_options
      {:locale => 'en'}
    end
  end
end

Answer 4

I tried to put this in config/environments/test.rb and worked for me:

config.action_controller.default_url_options = { locale: I18n.locale }
