route_to matcher

The route_to matcher specifies that a request (verb + uri) is routable. It
is most valuable when specifying routes other than standard RESTful routes.

{ :get => "/" }.should route_to(:controller => "welcome")

Scenarios

passing route spec

Given

a file named "spec/routing/widgets_routing_spec.rb" with:

require "spec_helper"

describe "routes for Widgets" do
  it "routes /widgets to the widgets controller" do
    { :get => "/widgets" }.
      should route_to(:controller => "widgets", :action => "index")
  end
end

When

I run "rspec spec/routing/widgets_routing_spec.rb"

Then

the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"

route spec for a route that doesn't exist (fails)

Given

a file named "spec/routing/widgets_routing_spec.rb" with:

require "spec_helper"

describe "routes for Widgets" do
  it "routes /widgets/foo to the /foo action" do
    { :get => "/widgets/foo" }.
      should route_to(:controller => "widgets", :action => "foo")
  end
end

When

I run "rspec spec/routing/widgets_routing_spec.rb"

Then

the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure"
