anonymous controllers with rspec ♥ George Opritescu

If you have new routes in your anonymous controller, the docs say you should do this:

require "rails_helper"

RSpec.describe ApplicationController do
  controller do
    def custom
      render :text => "custom called"
    end
  end

  specify "a custom action can be requested if routes are drawn manually" do
    routes.draw { get "custom" => "anonymous#custom" }

    get :custom
    expect(response.body).to eq "custom called"
  end
end

However, in my case, the following change helped:

specify "a custom action can be requested if routes are drawn manually" do
  routes.draw { get "custom", controller: 'application_controller' }

  get :custom
  expect(response.body).to eq "custom called"
end
