Problems testing destroy method in rspec2

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I am trying to test the destroy method in my rails 3 controller, but I
always get an “no route matches {}” error. But the route do exist, as I
can
see by running rake routes.

I have something like this:
delete :destroy, :id => “1”

The stack trace:
Failure/Error: delete :destroy, :id => “1”
No route matches {}

Have you guys ever been through this problem?

Thanks,

Only thing that springs to mind is that perhaps you haven’t specified
the :method => :delete option on the link?

What version of rspec and rspec-rails are you using?

Hi David,

I am using rspec2 beta4, which is the latest version in gemcutter.

Hi Julian,

The problem only happens in my spec. My rails3 applications works fine
(I use a post with a hidden _method set as delete, but I guess this is
a browser problem!)

Regards,
Mauricio

Hi,

Is there anyone else who had this problem?

Thanks,

Hi,

Just to close this one… RSpec wasn’t the problem!

My bad! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Mauricio
