UrlGenerationError when testing controller usinf Rspec

Question

I am trying to run basic controller test.

My controller_spec.rb looks like:

class Test < ActionController::Base
  def test_meth
    puts 'hello for test meth'
    head 200
  end
end

describe Test do
  it 'responds with 200' do
    get :test_meth
    expect(response.status).to eq(200)
  end
end

When I run this spec I end up with an error

ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches {:action=>"test_meth", :controller=>"test"}

I am not sure if I am missing something very basic here becasue this looks very straight forward. Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

The error is clear, in your routes.rb file you have not written the action correctly.

You must have.

get "test", to: "test#test_meth"
