How to request (GET/POST) routes in RSpec that have a wildcard
(Answering my own question)
This turned out to be a bit of a 'rookie' mistake.
The wildcard (event) part of the route still requires a parameter. I wasn't passing the 'event' parameter, therefore the route was incomplete.
The following code works:
describe "post_event" do it "should respond with 204" do params = { attachment_id: @attachment.uid, software_id: @license.id, event: 'some/event' } post :post_event, params response.code.should eq "204" endend/*event(.:format) means it's expecting a parameter.
Special note to self and others:
If you ever have routing errors in Rails, verify that you're passing all the parameters.
