Functional Testing Rails, No route matches error - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to fix the following rails functional test:
test "should create broadcast" do
login_as(:one_details)
assert_difference('Broadcast.count') do
post :create, feeds: [:twitter, {alumni_email: 'test#email.com'}], broadcast: {id: 2, content: #broadcast.content, user: #user_details.user_id}
end
assert_redirected_to "#{broadcast_path}?page=1"
end
Here is the error:
1) Error:
BroadcastsControllerTest#test_should_create_broadcast:
ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"broadcasts"} missing required keys: [:id]
test/controllers/broadcasts_controller_test.rb:35:in `block in <class:BroadcastsControllerTest>'
I have this in the routes file:
resources :broadcasts, except: [:edit, :update]
In the broadcasts_controller the show method looks like this:
def show
if is_admin?
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render partial: 'show_local',
locals: {broadcast: #broadcast, current_page: #current_page},
layout: false }
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json # show.json.builder
end
else
indicate_illegal_request I18n.t('not allowed to view this')
end
end
The broadcast controller create method:
def create
#broadcast = Broadcast.new(broadcast_params)
# Wire up broadcast with the current user (an administrator)
# Will be an admin user (see before_filter)
# Note the current_user is a user_detail object so we need
# to navigate to its user object
#broadcast.user = current_user.user
# Doing the next line forces a save automatically. I want to defer this
# until the "if" statement
#current_user.user.broadcasts << #broadcast
no_errors = false
respond_to do |format|
if #broadcast.save
# Only after saving do we try and do the real broadcast. Could have been
# done using an observer, but I wanted this to be more explicit
results = BroadcastService.broadcast(#broadcast, params[:feeds])
if results.length > 0
# Something went wrong when trying to broadcast to one or more of the
# feeds.
#broadcast.errors[:base] << ("#{I18n.t('broadcasts.unable-message')}: #{results.inspect}")
flash[:error] = I18n.t('broadcasts.saved-but-message')
else
flash[:notice] = I18n.t('broadcasts.saved-message')
no_errors = true
end
if no_errors
format.html { redirect_to(broadcasts_url(page: #current_page)) }
format.json { render json: #broadcast, status: :created, location: #broadcast }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.xml {
# Either say it partly worked but send back the errors or else send
# back complete failure indicator (couldn't even save)
if results
render json: #broadcast.errors, status: :created, location: #broadcast
else
render json: #broadcast.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
end
}
end
end
end
end

Change
assert_redirected_to "#{broadcast_path}?page=1"
to
 assert_redirected_to "#{broadcasts_path}?page=1"
also change
post :create, feeds: [:twitter, {alumni_email: 'test#email.com'}], broadcast: {id: 2, content: #broadcast.content, user: #user_details.user_id}
to
post :create, feeds: [:twitter, {alumni_email: 'test#email.com'}], broadcast_params: {id: 2, content: #broadcast.content, user: #user_details.user_id}
you are not passing an id in the redirect check so you either make it broadcasts_path
