Hi,

how is it possible that I can use the restful routes helpers (e.g.
new_user_path) in controller specs? I browsed the source code but I
couldn't find the magic. I'm just curious and would appreciate any
hint...

thanks
Andi

You can use them -after- the request, eg

        post :create
        response.should redirect_to( foo_path )

You can't before the request because they're not loaded yet.

Actually, I have a routes_spec.rb that goes something like this:

        class FoosController < ApplicationController
                def foo
                end
        end

        describe FoosController, "named routes" do
                before do
                        get :foo
                end

                it "should route /users/:id" do
                        user_path('123').should == '/users/123'
    			params_from(:get, '/users/123').should == {:controller =>  
'users', :action => 'show', :id => '123'}
                end
        end
