Test UrlMapping Paths for Resource Controllers - grails

Question

In Grails 2.3 and above, there is now the concept of a resource controller. However, they do not seem to work with the assertUrlMappings concepts.
/foo (resources:"foo")
Then in the url-mappings-report the following appears:
Controller: foo
| GET | /foo | Action: index
| GET | /foo/create | Action: create
| POST | /foo | Action: save
| GET | /foo/${id} | Action: show
| GET | /foo/${id}/edit | Action: edit
| PUT | /foo/${id} | Action: update
| PATCH | /foo/${id} | Action: patch
| DELETE | /foo/${id} | Action: delete
However, in the following file, the urls cannot be tested:
#TestFor(UrlMappings)
#Mock(FooController)
class FooURIReverseMappingsSpec extends Specification {
def "Ensure basic mapping operations for Foo uris"() {
expect:
assertUrlMapping(url, controller: expectCtrl, action: expectAction) {
id = expectId
}
where:
url | expectCtrl | expectAction | expectId
// Not sure why, but the resource controller generation url test does not find the real 'Foos' url
'/foo/123'|'foo'|'show'|'123'
}
}
Then WITHOUT the default action url $controller/$action/$id (which would match foo/show/123) the test cannot find the generated url.
The generated error is:
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: url '/foo/123' did not match any mappings
Is there a way to test the resource urls?

I know this question is over 5 years old, but for future reference, the issue likely was the same as that in this grails-core Github issue (URLMapping unit test for RESTfull service is not working).
The issue was apparently solved by this PR (Include request method in URL matching). It looks like this fix was merged into Grails 2.5.x.
