path not working properly when using capybara

问题:

I'm using rails 3.0.5, rspec2 with latest capybara.

Routes setup like:

scope "(:locale)", :locale => /de|fr|it|en/ do
  resources :dossiers
end

In application_controller I have this:

def default_url_options(options={})
  options[:locale] = "es"
  options
end

So in my views I can use

link_to 'test', dossier_path(1)

without any problems.

But when I do the same in capybara's visit it tries to use the 1 for the locale and not for the id. It only works when I use

visit dossier_path(nil, 1)

or

visit dossier_path(:id => 1)

But both are ugly and looks like a dirty hack. So why do I need to use this dirty hack and what do I jave to do, so that I can use the path methods just like in the views (so without the dirty hack of having to add nil or explicitly pass :id => ...)? :)

I ran into a similar issue. You can set the default_url_options in a before block like this in request specs:

 before :each do
   app.default_url_options = { :locale => :es }
 end

Unfortunately the route generation happens outside of Application Controller. And Capybara doesn't do any magic to provide default url options from it to route helpers.

But you can specify default locale inside your routes.rb

scope "(:locale)", :locale => /de|fr|it|en/, :defaults => { :locale => "es" } do
  resources :dossiers
end

And now if you don't pass :locale option to a route helper it will default to "es". Actually, it isn't necessary to keep def default_url_options anymore in your controller.

I'm running rails 3.2.6 and I use a technique that I found here https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/255 under Phoet's comment. Just put this somewhere in /spec/support and it should cover all your specs

class ActionView::TestCase::TestController
  def default_url_options(options={})
    { :locale => I18n.default_locale }
  end
end

class ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet
  def default_url_options(options={})
    { :locale => I18n.default_locale }
  end
end

Opposite as shown here under Using Capybara with RSpec the only way I've been able to get it working is writing

visit user_path(:id => myuser.id.to_s)

so for you it should be

visit dossier_path(:id => "1")

Does it work?
