I have the following resource (config/routes.rb)
resources :dashboard
dashboard_index GET /dashboard(.:format) dashboard#index
POST /dashboard(.:format) dashboard#create
new_dashboard GET /dashboard/new(.:format) dashboard#new
edit_dashboard GET /dashboard/:id/edit(.:format) dashboard#edit
dashboard GET /dashboard/:id(.:format) dashboard#show
PUT /dashboard/:id(.:format) dashboard#update
DELETE /dashboard/:id(.:format) dashboard#destroy
and I have the following controller spec
require 'spec_helper'
describe DashboardController do
describe "GET 'index'" do
it "returns http success" do
get :index
response.should be_success
end
end
end
and when I run the spec I'm keep on getting the following error
Failures:
1) DashboardController GET 'index' returns http success
Failure/Error: get :index
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:controller=>"dashboard"}
# ./spec/controllers/dashboard_controller_spec.rb:7:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
Finished in 0.12126 seconds
when I check for similar questions, almost all of them are because not passing required parameters, but in my case my action does not expect a parameter, so what would be the missing part here
I'm on
gem 'rails', '3.2.9'
group :test, :development do
gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.0"
end
thanks in advance
as #John Naegle pointed out, it appears to be a problem with my spork + guard setup and its not picking up the 'routes.rb' file
Sorry for the confusion

I have simple test case:
it "is removed when associated board is deleted" do
link = FactoryGirl.create(:link)
link.board.destroy
expect(Link.find(link.id)).to raise_error ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
end
And it fails with output:
1) Link is removed when associated board is deleted
Failure/Error: expect(Link.find(link.id)).to raise_error ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound:
Couldn't find Link with id=1
# ./spec/models/link_spec.rb:47:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
Any idea why ?
To catch error you need to wrap code in a block. Your code is executing Link.find(link.id) in the scope that is not expecting error. Proper test:
it "is removed when associated board is deleted" do
link = FactoryGirl.create(:link)
link.board.destroy
expect { Link.find(link.id) }.to raise_error ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
end
In Firefox, if I try to submit a post without a title, I get: 1 error prohibited this post from being saved.
But when I run my test. It's a different story.
My Post model has validates_presence_of :title. My test looks like:
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'Users' do
it 'registered users should not be able to post without a title', :js => true do
user = Factory(:user)
visit new_post_path
current_path.should eq(new_post_path)
fill_in 'post[markdown_description]', :with => 'Bar'
click_on 'Submit your post'
page.should have_content('error')
end
end
By the way, I am using Selenium (:js => true), because my submit button is actually an anchor link with some JS. Basically, when the link is clicked, JS triggers the form to be submitted.
Rspec returns:
Running: spec/requests/users_spec.rb
F
Failures:
1) Users registered users should be able to post
Failure/Error: page.should have_content('error')
expected there to be content "error" in ""

The request may not make it to the controller action if you have before_filters. Check the log to make sure that the correct parameters are posting and that the action is not redirecting.
Another option is to include this in your spec:
click_on 'Submit your post'
save_and_open_page
which opens the current page in the browser so you can see what is actually being rendered.
UPDATE 4
See solution below!
**Update 3 **
If anyone is actually still reading this (I appreciate it!) I've been struggling around my code today (yes still a noob and in chapter 11 of the ruby on rails tutorial).
I've supposedly reset back to my last commit:
$ cd rails_screencast/sample_app/
$ git reset --hard 2396c0d288d132ffc43c82d5cbbc736a5258eed2
HEAD is now at 2396c0d Micropost Validations
When I check the site on local host it actually shows a list of users and not an ERROR page but when I run the test suite (autotest with spork - I've reset those a few times too to be sure) I still get all errors such as these shown below. I'm very curious about the "Could not find table 'users'" as it is in EVERY error #
108) Users signin success should sign a user in and out
Failure/Error: user = Factory(:user)
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:
Could not find table 'users'
# ./spec/requests/users_spec.rb:56:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
Finished in 0.9872 seconds
108 examples, 108 failures
Time to keep on plugging and looking at all these errors, if anyone can offer any insight or hints or ideas what to check I would appreciate it! Or if you need additional information I can post that too (just be very specific to which files to see as I'm not totally fluent in the lingo as many are already)
Update 2:
It seems that my reset messed something up with the factory settings as sometimes all my errors are pointing to line 5 of my micropost_spec.rb file specifically # the #user = Factory(:user) line... almost like my factories file isn't linked to anything any more. I am wondering if a rake db:migrate would solve any of my problems... or just create new problems... I only have sample data filling in with faker
Any ideas?
Is it possible to revert my file system back to a previous commit and start over? ... when I was green

Specifically the "Could not find table 'users'" - I copied the code from the tutorial git for the micropost_spec.rb file but didn't seem to fix it- maybe someone can help direct me to what the table is referring to?
////////////////////////////////////// ORIGINAL BELOW ////////////////////////////////
I am working in the Ruby on Rails Tutorial lesson 11 and am trying to populate my db to show the microposts
when I did the rake db:populate command it gave me the following:
macbook:sample_app macbook$ rake db:populate
(in /Users/macbook/rails_screencast/sample_app)
db/test.sqlite3 already exists
db/test.sqlite3 already exists
db/development.sqlite3 already exists
-- create_table("microposts", {:force=>true})

-- add_index("microposts", ["user_id"], {:name=>"index_microposts_on_user_id"})
-> 0.0074s
-- create_table("users", {:force=>true})
-> 0.0243s
-- add_index("users", ["email"], {:name=>"index_users_on_email", :unique=>true})

-- assume_migrated_upto_version(20110614132314, "db/migrate")
-> 0.0432s
rake aborted!
Validation failed: Email is invalid
I ran it a couple times and kept getting the same error... when I visited the site on a browser it was like none of my sample users were there...
require 'faker'
namespace :db do
desc "Fill database with sample data"
task :populate => :environment do
Rake::Task['db:reset'].invoke
admin = User.create!(:name => "Foo Bar",
:email => "foo#bar.com",
:password => "foobar",
:password_confirmation => "foobar")
admin.toggle!(:admin)
99.times do |n|
name = Faker::Name.name
email = "example-#{n+1}#railstutorial.org"
password = "password"
User.create!(:name => name,
:email => email,
:password => password,
:password_confirmation => password)
end
User.all(:limit => 6).each do |user|
50.times do
user.microposts.create!(:content => Faker::Lorem.sentence(5))
end
end
end
end
then I decided oh maybe rake db:reset will purge my sample database and I can run the populate again with fresh stuff... bad assumption
my test suite now shows:
Finished in 0.99915 seconds
111 examples, 111 failures
Now before I mess more stuff up I'm looking for some advice where to go next ...
Michael (author of the railstutorial.org) responded to my email request!
If you're missing a table when running the test suite, it's probably an indication that you need to run:
rake db:test:prepare
YUP!! YAYYYY

CAKE TIME!
The db:populate that you're showing does a db:reset itself, so doing it manually can't have caused any problem that wasn't already happening with the db:populate.
You can just delete your db/*.sqlite3 files and start from fresh. There's nothing obvious in that db:populate code which would explain why the email validation failed, you'd have to show the User model and the validations you have in there for us to diagnose that initial issue.
I'm fairly new to rails and TDD (as will no doubt be obvious from my post) and am having a hard time wrapping my brain around Rspec and FactoryGirl.
I'm using Rails 3, rspec and factory girl:
gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
# ...
gem 'rspec-rails', '~>2.4.0'
gem 'factory_girl_rails'
I have a user model that I've been successfully running tests on during development, but then needed to add an attribute to, called "source". It's for determining where the user record originally came from (local vs LDAP).
In my factories.rb file, I have several factories defined, that look something like the following:
# An alumnus account tied to LDAP
Factory.define :alumnus, :class => User do |f|
f.first_name "Mickey"
f.last_name "Mouse"
f.username "mickeymouse"
f.password "strongpassword"
f.source "directory"
end
I have a macro defined (that's been working up until now) that looks like this:
def login(user)
before(:each) do
sign_out :user
sign_in Factory.create(user)
end
end
I'm calling it in multiple specs like so (example from users_controller_spec.rb):
describe "for non-admins or managers" do
login(:alumnus)
it "should deny access" do
get :index
response.should redirect_to(destroy_user_session_path)
end
end
If I don't specify the "source" attribute, everything works OK, but as soon as I do, I get an error like so when running the test
12) UsersController for non-admins or managers should deny access
Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
NoMethodError:
undefined method `source=' for #<User:0x00000100e256c0>
I can access the attribute no problem from the rails console and the app itself, and it's listed in my attr_accessible in the user model. It's almost as though Rspec is seeing an old version of my model and not recognizing that I've added an attribute to it. But if I put the following line into my user model, the error disappears
attr_accessor :source
... which indicates to me that it is actually looking at the correct model.
Help!
How about running this?
rake db:test:load
[If you added a new attribute you'd need to migrate it to the test database.]
if you don't use schema.rb (e.g. you have set config.active_record.schema_format = :sql)
you should run
rake db:test:prepare
I am new Rspec and just started by generating a new controller on Rails 3. It generates some Rspec tests by default. I have a question about how to make them pass though. As it stands, I see this test in my terminal"
1) BuildingsController GET 'show'
should be successful
Failure/Error: get 'show'
No route matches {:controller=>"buildings", :action=>"show"}
# ./spec/controllers/buildings_controller_spec.rb:17:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
However, I don't understand why it's coming up because I already have this route created ("resources :buildings"), and I ran rake routes and made sure it's there.
building GET /buildings/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"buildings"}
What is necessary to make this pass? Here is the test by the way:
describe "GET 'show'" do
it "should be successful" do
get 'show'
response.should be_success
end
end
You need to pass id of existing building: get :show, :id => #building.id
Routes complain about it because :id isn't optional.
