Rspec2 nested resources broken redirect - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

I'm trying to write a Rspec test for my nested autolinks_controller. However, the redirect after my create action is broken. After successfully creating an autolink I want to be redirected to that autolink within a particular website (hence, website_autolink_path). My controller spec looks like this:
describe "POST create when params[:website_id] are present" do
before(:each) do
#website = create(:website)
#autolink = attributes_for(:website_autolink, website_id: #website.id)
end
context "with valid attributes and params[:website_id] are present" do
it "saved the autolink in the database" do
expect{
post :create, website_id: #website, autolink: attributes_for(:website_autolink)
}.to change(Autolink, :count).by(1)
end
it "redirects to the 'index' page" do
post :create, website_autolink: #autolink, website_id: #website
response.should redirect_to website_autolink_path
end
end
end
This line is not working:
response.should redirect_to website_autolink_path
Giving me the error message:
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"autolinks"}
My factories look like this:
Autolink:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :website_autolink do
name "MyName"
url "http://www.myurl.nl"
association :website
end
end
Website:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :website do
name "Test"
domain "http://www.test.nl"
end
end
My AutolinkController:
def create
if params[:website_id].present?
#website = Website.find(params[:website_id])
#autolink = #website.autolinks.create(params[:autolink])
else
#autolink = Autolink.new(params[:autolink])
end
respond_to do |format|
if #autolink.save
if params[:website_id].present?
format.html { redirect_to [#website, #autolink], notice: "Autolink is met succes aangemaakt." }
else
format.html { redirect_to autolinks_path, notice: "Autolink is met succes aangemaakt." }
end
format.json { head :no_content }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #autolink.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Within my controller, the following line is the one I want to simulate using Rspec:
format.html { redirect_to [#website, #autolink], notice: "Autolink is met succes aangemaakt." }
In my localhost it's all working, but writing the actual test for this nested route troubles me.

I just found a solution for my problem. My controller spec for the create action now looks like this:
describe "POST create when params[:website_id] are present" do
context "with valid attributes and params[:website_id] are present" do
before(:each) do
#website = create(:website)
#autolink = attributes_for(:website_autolink, website: #website)
end
it "saved the autolink in the database" do
expect{
post :create, autolink: #autolink, website_id: #website.id
}.to change(Autolink, :count).by(1)
end
it "redirects to the 'index' page" do
post :create, autolink: #autolink, website_id: #website.id
response.should redirect_to website_autolink_path(#website, assigns(:autolink))
end
end
end
I just had to assign my autolink in order to redirect_to the nested path. Without it, the id of my autolink couldn't be found.
