Rspec: how to check the Rails-url_for helper?
Using RSpec, how do I test the hell_for helper method to make sure it is going to the correct controller and action with a specific format?

I had to do the following:
Add this to spec_helper.rb:
Rspec.configure do |config|
config.include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers # url_for
end
Then:
describe "Article routing" do
it "routes to #index.atom" do
get('/articles.atom').
should route_to('articles#index', format: 'atom')
url_for(:controller => 'articles', :format => :atom, :only_path => true).
should == '/articles/index.atom'
end
end

You can check that the named routes are being directed to the correct location. Routing specs live in spec/routing
, so inspec/routing/widget_routes_spec.rb
describe "routes to the widgets controller" do
it "routes a named route" do
expect(:get => new_widget_path).
to route_to(:controller => "widgets", :action => "new")
end
end
There are many other options for testing routes outlined in the routing specification specification .
