SOLVED specifying namespaces in a Rails routing spec.

app-controllers-blog-blog_controller.rb

# Blog module contains Blog app-related code for The Future, You Know?(TM)
module Blog
  # BlogController: "main app" controller for our "fancy" blog.
  class BlogController < ApplicationController
    def index
    end
  end
end

SOLVED Specifying namespaces in a Rails routing spec.md

FINALLY! For the three of you who have been following this epic saga through Gists 9907240 and 9908206, we have finally found the elusive green bar; a mystery wrapped in an enigma disguised as a riddle.

There were two key changes that made this work:

1. The describe group containing the routing spec must have the annotation :type => :routing; and
2. The route I was actually trying to get was /blog/blog.

The fact that get 'index' returns success in the third spec in the file is the most flaming of red herrings I've seen in a long, long time.

Green-bar-inducing code and spec files follow. The routing is unchanged from that quoted in the first Gist.

For those who may be interested, I've now blogged about all this.

spec-controllers-blog-blog_conroller_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

# Blog module contains Blog app-related code suitable for gemification
describe Blog::BlogController do
  describe :routing, :type => :routing do
    it { expect(get '/blog/blog').to be_routable }
    # it { expect(get 'index').to route_to controller: 'blog/blog', action: 'index' }
  end

  describe :helpers do
    it { expect(blog_blog_index_path).to eq('/blog/blog')}
  end

  describe "GET 'index'" do
    it 'returns http success' do
      get 'index'
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
