No route matches {:action=>"up_vote", :controller=>"votes", :post_id=>"1"} - ruby-on-rails

Question

I've been receiving the following error in my RSpec when trying to get my upvote method to pass:
Failures:
1) VotesController#up_vote adds an up-vote to the post
Failure/Error: post( :up_vote, post_id: #post.id )
ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
No route matches {:action=>"up_vote", :controller=>"votes", :post_id=>"1"}
Now I can upvote and downvote when I'm on the server, it's just my test that won't work.
Here's my code:
votes_controller_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
describe VotesController do
include TestFactories
include Devise::TestHelpers
describe '#up_vote' do
it "adds an up-vote to the post" do
request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] = '/'
#user = authenticated_user
#post = associated_post
sign_in #user
expect {
post(:up_vote, post_id: #post.id)
}.to change { #post.up_votes }.by 1
end
end
end
votes_controller.rb
class VotesController < ApplicationController
before_action :load_post_and_vote
def up_vote
update_vote!(1)
redirect_to :back
end
def down_vote
update_vote!(-1)
redirect_to :back
end
def update_vote!(new_value)
if #vote
authorize #vote, :update?
#vote.update_attribute(:value, new_value)
else
#vote = current_user.votes.build(value: new_value, post: #post)
authorize #vote, :create?
#vote.save
end
end
private
def load_post_and_vote
#post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
#vote = #post.votes.where(user_id: current_user.id).first
end
end
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
resources :users, only: [:update]
resources :questions
resources :advertisements
resources :topics do
resources :posts, except: [:index] do
resources :summaries, only: [:create, :new, :show]
resources :comments, only: [:create, :destroy]
post '/up-vote', to: 'votes#up_vote', as: :up_vote
post '/down-vote', to: 'votes#down_vote', as: :down_vote
end
end
get 'about' => 'welcome#about'
get 'contact' => 'welcome#contact'
root to: 'welcome#index'
end
Module providing methods within specs:
module TestFactories
def associated_post(options={})
post_options = {
title: 'Post title',
body: 'Post bodies must be pretty long.',
topic: Topic.create(name: 'Topic name'),
user: authenticated_user
}.merge(options)
Post.create(post_options)
end
def authenticated_user(options={})
user_options = {email: "email#{rand}#fake.com", password: 'password'}.merge(options)
user = User.new(user_options)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save
user
end
end
Relevant Rake Routes
topic_post_up_vote POST /topics/:topic_id/posts/:post_id/up-vote(.:format) votes#up_vote
topic_post_down_vote POST /topics/:topic_id/posts/:post_id/down-vote(.:format) votes#down_vote
Any ideas why I'm getting this URL generation error?

Answer 1

I think you just need to pass the topic_id to the post method like this: post( :up_vote, post_id: #post.id, topic_id: #post.topic.id )

Answer 2

I ended up switching my routes.rb file to the below and got the above vote_controller_spec.rb working.
Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
resources :users, only: [:update]
resources :questions
resources :advertisements
resources :topics do
resources :posts, except: [:index]
end
resources :posts, only: [] do
resources :summaries, only: [:create, :new, :show]
resources :comments, only: [:create, :destroy]
post '/up-vote', to: 'votes#up_vote', as: :up_vote
post '/down-vote', to: 'votes#down_vote', as: :down_vote
end
get 'about' => 'welcome#about'
get 'contact' => 'welcome#contact'
root to: 'welcome#index'
end
