no route matches error on route in rake routes - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm testing a RESTful api in rails using rspec.
My request looks like this:
before(:each) do
#user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
sign_in(#user)
end
it "returns a 200 code when a user checks a valid token" do
get "/api/v1/users/#{#user.id}/token_check", token: #user.authentication_token
expect(response.code).to eql(200)
end
when i run the testing suite, I receive the error:
Failure/Error: get "/api/v1/users/#{#user.id}/token_check", token: #user.authentication_token
ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
No route matches {:action=>"/api/v1/users/1/token_check", :controller=>"api/v1/users", :token=>"6fgswkHwWXrcyDQNJVBZ"}
# ./spec/controllers/api/v1/users_controller_spec.rb:32:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
However, I can see the route for this action in rake routes:
api_v1_user_token_check GET /api/v1/users/:user_id/token_check(.:format) api/v1/users#token_check {:format=>:son}
I match this to my users_controller#token_check. Here is my controller and action:
def token_check
render json: {
result: ['Your authentication token is valid'],
}, status: 200
end

Answer 1

No route matches {:action=>"/api/v1/users/1/token_check", :controller=>"api/v1/users", :token=>"6fgswkHwWXrcyDQNJVBZ"}
As the error message shows, you just need to specify the action name.
from get "/api/v1/users/#{#user.id}/token_check", token: #user.authentication_token
to get "token_check", user_id: #user.id, token: #user.authentication_token

I was getting this same error. I solved this issue by simply moving it statement inside :type => :request describe statement like below:
describe 'GET /v1/feeds/' , :type => :request do
get '/api/v1/cars/random', xhr: true, headers: { 'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json', 'ACCEPT' => 'application/json' }
expect(response.status).to eq 401
end
end
