I'm trying to write a functional test that generates a route and then follows that route to the controller and confirms that the appropriate record is retrieved.
I'm getting some unexpected errors --- I know the route works in development mode -- and wondering if anyone has an idea of what's happening here. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Here's the test...
def test_show_title @news=Article.find(1) get date_url(:title=>"#{@news.srctitle}", :section=>"#{@news.section.name}", :year=>"#{@news.created_at.year}", :month=>"#{@news.created_at.month}", :day=>"#{@news.created_at.mday.to_s}")
end
and the error...
test_show_title(ArticlesControllerTest): NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.rewrite /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/ rmagickRailsSept2006_x86.locobundle/framework/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_controller/base.rb:488:in `url_for' generated/routing/named_routes/date.rb:2:in `date_url' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/ rmagickRailsSept2006_x86.locobundle/framework/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb:431:in `method_missing' ./test/functional/articles_controller_test.rb:33:in `test_show_title'
