Testing only for a redirect

Testing RSpec
1

Hello guys,

Quick question: How could I just test if a redirect was made, without
URL
whatsoever?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

In rspec-1/rails-2:

response.should be_redirect

This is not in rspec-rails-2 yet, so you can just go with the rails
assertion for now:

assert_response :redirect

HTH,

Sure.

FYI - looks like you can use be_redirect in rspec-rails-2 because the
TestResponse object responds to redirect?(). Give it a shot:

response.should be_redirect

Work?

I meant rspec1.x :slight_smile:

I’m still on the Rails 2 era… so, it worked like a charm with
response.should be_redirect.

Thanks,

Marcelo.
