Not sure if this is a Rails 3 issue or an RSpec 2 issue, but I can’t
seem to
get a standard controller test working - it seems that the ‘get’ method
can’t be found.
I have a controller test that looks like this (named
“discrepancies_controller_spec.rb” in spec/controllers directory):
require ‘spec_helper’
describe DiscrepanciesController do
before :each do
Discrepancy.delete_all
end
it “resolves a discrepancy” do
discrepancy = Discrepancy.create(:my_number=>“12345”, :status=>“Open”)
get :resolve, :id => discrepancy.id
retrieved_discrepancy = Discrepancy.find_by_my_number(“12345”)
retrieved_discrepancy.status.should == “Resolved”
end
end
(Yes, I’m aware of the security implications of modifying data with an
HTTP/GET - that’s a separate issue…)
When I run it with rake, I get the following error:
- DiscrepanciesController resolves a discrepancy
Failure/Error: Unable to find C to read failed line
undefined method `get’ for
#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1:0xc9170d0 @__memoized={}>./spec/controllers/discrepancies_controller_spec.rb:38* (ignore

I can manage to test the controller action by instantiating the
controller
myself and calling the controller action directly, and it works, but its
ugly because I have to mock out things like ‘respond_to’ and ‘params’.
