RSpec route_for & params_from with Nested Routes & Custom Methods
I was just writing some route specs for nested routes that used PUT methods and it took some searching and experimentation to get it to work. I didn't find a lot of relevant documentation, so hopefully this will help others.
#routes.rb
map.resources :accounts do |account|
account.resources :accounts_users,
:member => {:upgrade => :put, :downgrade => :put}
end
Testing the generator (route_for)
route_for(:controller => "accounts_users",
:action => "upgrade",
:account_id => "3",
:id => "5").should ==
{:path => "/accounts/3/accounts_users/5/upgrade",
:method => 'put'}
In this case rather than matching the output of route_for against a simple string, you match it against a hash with :path and :method
Testing the recognition (params_from)
params_from(:put,
"/accounts/3/accounts_users/1/upgrade").should ==
{:controller => "accounts_users", :action => "upgrade",
:id => "1", :account_id => "3"}

This is documented as part of the 1.2.x series upgrade instructions.
That said, be warned that route_for isn't testing what it claims to be testing, currently. Here's more info on it.
