Invoke a route directly from a url

Alex,

Try this method (adapted from the assert_routing tests):

   def path_parameters_from_path(path, request_method)      request = ActionController::TestRequest.new({}, {}, nil)      request.env["REQUEST_METHOD"] = request_method.to_s.upcase if
request_method      request.path = path      ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize(request)      request.path_parameters    end

Use it like this...

   path_parameters_from_path("/books/1", :get)    path_parameters_from_path("/books/1", :put)
