Get_via_redirect in controller specs

Testing RSpec
1

Want to do the following in my controller spec

describe CheckoutController, “handling stale session” do

before do
session[:order_id] = 5
Order.delete_all
end

it “should not throw a 404” do
get_via_direct :index
end

Getting the following error message,

NoMethodError in ‘CheckoutController handling stale session should not
throw
a 404’
undefined method `get_via_redirect’ for
#Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x21cc080

not sure why I can call ‘get’ and ‘put’ but can’t call this method

Rails 2.3.2
RSpec 1.2.6

TIA

get_via_direct is available in ActionController::IntegrationTest, not
ActionController::TestCase, which is what is wrapped by controller
specs.

Thanks David, seems that I should write a feature for this instead using
Cucumber.
