RSpec story failing because of routing error on "/"

Testing RSpec
1

Greetings!

Here’s the problem.

When running tests on the restful_authentication plugin, I am getting
a routing error on “/”.

Which I don’t really understand, because the route “/” certainly does
exist as I can confirm when I run ./script/server and point my browser
at http://localhost:3000/

Here is an example of the error I am getting when I run “ruby stories/
rest_auth_stories.rb”:

Scenario: Anonymous user can get a login form.

 Given an anonymous user (FAILED)

 When she goes to /login

 Then she should be at the new sessions page
 And the page should look AWESOME (SKIPPED)
 And she should see a <form> containing a textfield: Login,

password: Password, and submit: ‘Log in’

FAILURES:
1) Creating an account (Anonymous user can start creating an
account) FAILED
ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches “/” with
{:method=>:get}
./stories/steps/user_steps.rb:104:in log_out!' ./stories/steps/user_steps.rb:12:in an anonymous user’
stories/rest_auth_stories.rb:17

I am running:

Rails: 2.1.0
RSpec-1.1.4

And this is a completely fresh install with no code added by me.

Here are the steps to replicate (from my app root):

git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git vendor/rails
git clone git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git vendor/plugins/rspec
git clone git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git vendor/plugins/
rspec-rails
git clone git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git
vendor/plugins/restful-authentication

./script/generate rspec
./script/generate authenticated user sessions

mate app/controllers (and added " include AuthenticatedSystem" to the
application controller)

rake db:migrate
rake db:test:prepare

ruby stories/rest_auth_stories.rb

Many thanks for your kind attention,

Add an explicit root mapping to the appropriate controller and
you’ll get past this. Looks like there are more problems ahead, but
they seem to be in restful_authentication.

Oh, a bit obvious!

Thank you so much.

For the record, it is possible to get the Restful Authentication
stories running with a few extra steps.

After installing all the various plugins as outlined in my previous
missive, do the following:

  1. Add a “/” route to config.routes.rb: (as pointed out by David)
    map.login ‘/’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘new’

  2. Copy the line “include AuthenticatedSystem” into class
    ApplicationController in app/controllers/application.rb

  3. Add app/views/layouts/application.html.erb with something like the
    following:

Restful auth
<%= flash[:notice] %>
<%= flash[:error] %>
<%= yield :layout %>

  1. In /stories/sessions/users/sessions.story there is a scenario which
    assumes that “fixtures have been run sometime”. Well they haven’t, so:

    “And her session store should have user_id: 1” (and not 4)

on lines 56 and 110.

Then run: ruby stories/rest_auth_stories.rb

“16 scenarios: 16 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 pending”

Hooray!

Actually, that route does NOT exist. You’re seeing something because
there is an index.html file in public, not because Rails routing is
getting you there.

Add an explicit root mapping to the appropriate controller and you’ll
