我应该如何使用rspec测试路由和控制器？

Question

我只有一个规格，位于spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb

这是它的内容：

require 'spec_helper'

describe StatusesController do
    describe "routing" do

    it "routes to #index" do
        get("/statuses").should route_to("statuses#index")
    end

  end
end

可以说，我有一个简单的状态脚手架，状态控制器具有CRUD的标准动作，包括索引动作。

但是，在运行上述测试时我遇到了这个问题：

15:39:52 - INFO - Running: ./spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb:6
Run options: include {:locations=>{"./spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb"=>[6]}}
F

Failures:

  1) StatusesController routing routes to #index
     Failure/Error: get("/statuses").should route_to("statuses#index")
     ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"statuses", :action=>"/statuses"}
     # ./spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb:8:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.21772 seconds
1 example, 1 failure

Rspec假设我正在处理statuses控制器，我觉得这很直观，因为我在规范的描述块中引用了它，它认为我已经传入get方法的字符串（'/ statuses'）是功能。

坦率地说，我真的不喜欢这个。 我希望能够测试URL栏中的确切字符串是否转到右侧控制器#action对。 无论如何，我按照rspec说并做到这一点：

require 'spec_helper'

describe StatusesController do
    describe "routing" do

    it "routes to #index" do
        get("index").should route_to("statuses#index")
    end

  end
end

但是，现在我明白了：

Run options: include {:locations=>{"./spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb"=>[6]}}
F

Failures:

  1) StatusesController routing routes to #index
     Failure/Error: get("index").should route_to("statuses#index")
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `values' for #<ActionController::TestResponse:0x00000102bd3208>
     # ./spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb:8:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.31019 seconds
1 example, 1 failure

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/controllers/statuses_spec.rb:6 # StatusesController routing routes to #index

关于values方法，我得到一个no方法错误。 值？ 说真的，到底是什么？ 我不知道为什么我会收到这个错误。 这是我的规范助手：

# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'

# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }

# Checks for pending migrations before tests are run.
# If you are not using ActiveRecord, you can remove this line.
ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending! if defined?(ActiveRecord::Migration)

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # ## Mock Framework
  #
  # If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
  #
  # config.mock_with :mocha
  # config.mock_with :flexmock
  # config.mock_with :rr
  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
    DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    Capybara.run_server = true
    Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
    Capybara.default_selector = :css
    Capybara.server_port = 7171
    DatabaseCleaner.start
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

  # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

  config.include RSpec::Rails::RequestExampleGroup, type: :feature

  # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
  # examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
  # instead of true.
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

  # If true, the base class of anonymous controllers will be inferred
  # automatically. This will be the default behavior in future versions of
  # rspec-rails.
  config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false

  # Run specs in random order to surface order dependencies. If you find an
  # order dependency and want to debug it, you can fix the order by providing
  # the seed, which is printed after each run.
  #     --seed 1234
  config.order = "random"
end

测试路由，尤其是标准RESTful路由，不是标准做法。

a）您不想浪费时间重新测试Rails的路由功能

b）当您的控制器或请求规范无法路由请求时，它们将失败

更常见的是，编写和维护路由测试不会带来太多价值和增加信心。 考虑在路线变得复杂且容易出错时进行测试。

也就是说，RSpec提供了一个route_to匹配器，用于指定请求是可路由的。

路由规范的推荐位置是在spec/routing ，尽管在控制器规范中查看路由规范并不罕见。 例如

describe VersionsController do
  describe 'routing' do
    it 'routes GET /version to VersionsController#show' do
      expect(get: '/version').to route_to(controller: 'versions', action: 'show')
    end
  end
end

shoulda-matchers gem有自己的路由匹配器，允许你编写测试，如

describe PostsController do
  it { should route(:get, '/posts').to(action: :index) }
  it { should route(:get, '/posts/1').to(action: :show, id: 1) }
end

Answer 2

路由应作为集成测试的一部分完成。 集成测试是测试应用程序的重要工作流程的地方 - 更具体地说，是否定义了URL似乎是一个重要的工作流程。

您的集成测试看起来像任何正常的集成测试：

require 'test_helper'
class RoutesTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
   test "route test" do
       assert_generates "/videos/5", { :controller => "videos", :action => "show", :id => "1" }
       assert_generates "/about", :controller => "pages", :action => "about"
   end
end

至于@ jemminger没有测试路线的反应 - 虽然铁路公司的测试确认routes.rb有效，但是铁路公司没有责任测试路线中是否定义了http://yoursite.com/users 。 需要注意的是，大多数路由测试可以在现有的集成测试中完成，因此对路由的特定测试可能是多余的。

我能想到的特定用例是已经或将要从Rails 2升级到Rails 3的所有人。定义路由的代码已经发生了显着变化，最好从测试中找出路由已经升级正确，而不是用户报告404错误时。

Answer 3

it { expect(put: "/posts/1").to route_to(controller: "posts", action: "update", id: "1") }

it { expect(GET: "/posts/1").to route_to(controller: 'posts', action: 'show', id: "1") }

if { expect(get: '/posts').to route_to(controller: 'posts', action: 'index') }

如果没有删除路由

it { expect(delete: "/posts/1").to_not be_routable }
