Testing Routes With RSpec and Subdomain Fu

11/25/2009 7:06:31 PM

Testing subdomain fu based routes has really been causing me pain. Hope to wrap this up into a nice little patch package but maybe this will help others until time permits.

Example Route

   1:  map.foo_bar '/foo/bar', :controller => 'foo', :action => 'bar',

   2:                          :conditions => { :subdomain => 'subdomain' }

Example Spec

   1:  it "should generate route for http://subdomain.test.com/foo/bar" do

   2:      controller.request.host = 'subdomain.test.com'

   3:    "/foo/bar".should route_to({ :controller => "foo", :action => 'bar' })

   4:  end

Overriding recognized_request_for in ControllerExampleGroup

The method recognized_request_for in ActionController::Assertions::RoutingAssertions uses a new controller for testing the routes. This fix leverages the controller for the spec instead.

   1:  module Spec

   2:    module Rails

   3:      module Example

   4:        class ControllerExampleGroup < FunctionalExampleGroup

   5:          def recognized_request_for(path, request_method = nil)

   6:            path = "/#{path}" unless path.first == '/'

7:

   8:            # Assume given controller

   9:            request = controller.request #ActionController::TestRequest.new

  10:            request.env["REQUEST_METHOD"] = request_method.to_s.upcase if request_method

  11:            request.path = path

12:

  13:            ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize(request)

  14:            request

  15:          end

  16:        end

  17:      end

  18:    end

  19:  end
