Hi folks,
I've made a simple rails app that reads the PDFs contained in /public/ files/, and creates links to those files. I'm doing this for the purpose of using cucumber to perform automated tests on PDFs as outlined here: http://upstream-berlin.com/2009/02/14/testing-pdfs-with-cucumber-and-rails/
When I access the list, everything works great. When I ask Cucumber to click on the link, it complains about there being no route.
When I follow the PDF link "TestPDF" # features/step_definitions/ webrat_steps.rb:117 No route matches "/files/TestPDF.pdf" with {:method=>:get} (ActionController::RoutingError) (evl):2:in `click_link' ./features/step_definitions/webrt_steps.rb:118:in `/^I follow the PDF link "([^\"]*)"$/' features/PDF.feature:8:in `When I follow the PDF link "TestPDF"'
I just have a lists Controller with an empty index action, and the following view: <h1>Listing PDFs</h1>
<ul> <% @files = Dir.glob("public/files/*.pdf") %> <% for file in @files %> <% file.sub!("public", "")%> <% filename = file.sub("/files/", "")%> <li> <%= link_to filename.chomp(".pdf"), file%> </li> <% end %> </ul> <br />
My step definition for cucumber looks like this, mostly commented out When /^I follow the PDF link "([^\"]*)"$/ do |link| click_link(link) #temp_pdf = Tempfile.new('pdf') #temp_pdf << response.body #temp_pdf.close #temp_txt = Tempfile.new('txt') #temp_txt.close #'pdftotext -q #{temp_pdf.path} #{temp_txt.path}' #response.body = File.read temp_txt.path end
