How to use rspec to test named routes?

If this is in a controller spec, you can call the routing method directly, no helper needed.

describe SomeController do  it 'should recognize ma routes!' do   thing_path(23).should == '/things/23'  endend

ruby-on-rails ruby routing rspec routes

In RSpec-Rails 2.7+ you can create a spec/routing directory and put your routing specs in there. See the rspec-rails docs for more info.

ruby-on-rails ruby routing rspec routes

there's a nice shoulda matcher for this too:

it { should route(:get, "/users/23").to(:action => "show", :id => 23)
