Rails custom route not found when testing, but works for curl

In config/routes.rb:

match 'app_config/:version' => "application#appconfig"

test/functional/application_controller_test.rb:

require 'test_helper'
class ApplicationControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  test "app config" do
    get "/app_config/v2"
    assert_response :success
  end
end

rake test:

  1) Error:
test_app_config(ApplicationControllerTest):
ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches {:controller=>"application", :action=>"/app_config/v2"}

but $ curl localhost:3000/app_config/v2 works, and returns the response I expect, and rake routes shows the route as expected. Any idea what's going on, or how to investigate further? This is basically the only code in the project.

The get method does not take a route. It takes an action name and a parameter's hash.

If you want to test the action, your tests should look like this:

test "for success" do
  get :appconfig, :version => "v2"
  assert_response :success
end

If you want to test routing there is a tutorial here in the documentation.

test "should route to appconfig" do
  assert_routing '/app_config/v2', { :controller => "application", :action => "appconfig", :version => "v2" }
end
