How to trigger update action in Phoenix Controller?

Under the update test I use:

%{resp_body: body} = conn
|> sign_in
|> patch(asset_path(conn, :update), Poison.encode!(payload))

I get this error:

 ** (ArgumentError) No action :update for helper Web.Router.Helpers.asset_path/2. The following actions/clauses are supported:

     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :create, , opts \\ [])
     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :delete, id, opts \\ [])
     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :edit, id, opts \\ [])
     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :index, , opts \\ [])
     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :new, , opts \\ [])
     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :show, id, opts \\ [])
     asset_path(conn_or_endpoint, :update, id, opts \\ [])
 code: |> post(asset_path(conn, :update), Poison.encode!(payload))
 stacktrace:
   (phoenix) lib/phoenix/router/helpers.ex:299: Phoenix.Router.Helpers.raise_route_error/5
   test/controllers/asset_controller_test.exs:167: (test)

When I use Postman to test it directly it works fine though.

I have used post(asset_path(conn, :create), Poison.encode!(payload)) in the insert action and it works fine.

Here is the snapshot of postman to show that code works fine, test fails.

You can check by typing mix phx.routes. The update action always require id to work. so pass the id and it should work

The update route and therefore asset_path for update action requires the id of the resource. You need to pass that as the third argument of asset_path, e.g.

|> patch(asset_path(conn, :update, id), Poison.encode!(payload))

id should be the id of the record you're trying to update
