delete(action, *args)

Simulate a DELETE request with the given parameters and set/volley the response. See get for more details.

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_case.rb, line 537
def delete(action, *args)
  process(action, "DELETE", *args)
end
get(action, *args)

Simulate a GET request with the given parameters.

  • action: The controller action to call.

  • parameters: The HTTP parameters that you want to pass. This may be nil, a hash, or a string that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data).

  • session: A hash of parameters to store in the session. This may be nil.

  • flash: A hash of parameters to store in the flash. This may be nil.

You can also simulate POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, and HEAD requests with post, patch, put, delete, and head.

Note that the request method is not verified. The different methods are available to make the tests more expressive.

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_case.rb, line 513
def get(action, *args)
  process(action, "GET", *args)
end
head(action, *args)

Simulate a HEAD request with the given parameters and set/volley the response. See get for more details.

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_case.rb, line 543
def head(action, *args)
  process(action, "HEAD", *args)
end

    hash_or_array_or_value.to_param
  end
end
patch(action, *args)

Simulate a PATCH request with the given parameters and set/volley the response. See get for more details.

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_case.rb, line 525
def patch(action, *args)
  process(action, "PATCH", *args)
end
post(action, *args)

Simulate a POST request with the given parameters and set/volley the response. See get for more details.

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_case.rb, line 519
def post(action, *args)
  process(action, "POST", *args)
end
process(action, http_method = 'GET', *args)

Simulate a HTTP request to action by specifying request method, parameters and set/volley the response.

  • action: The controller action to call.

  • http_method: Request method used to send the http request. Possible values are GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, HEAD. Defaults to GET.

  • parameters: The HTTP parameters. This may be nil, a hash, or a string that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data).

  • session: A hash of parameters to store in the session. This may be nil.

  • flash: A hash of parameters to store in the flash. This may be nil.

Example calling create action and sending two params:

process :create, 'POST', user: { name: 'Gaurish Sharma', email: 'user@example.com' }

Example sending parameters, nil session and setting a flash message:

process :view, 'GET', { id: 7 }, nil, { notice: 'This is flash message' }

To simulate GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE and HEAD requests prefer using get, post, patch, put, delete and head methods respectively which will make tests more expressive.

Note that the request method is not verified.
