rspec no route error

Question

I have set up the path in route.rb as the following: post "/orders/:id/capture/.:format"

but when I write the controller's rspec post "capture"

I got error: "can't find route {:controller => :orders, :action => :capture}

why is that?

Answer 1

It is most likely because you are not passing in the order's id.

The route will not match unless all criteria are met.

In your code you have

 post "capture", :order => @order, :format => :json

Is @order set?
