undefined method `get' for #

Question

Anyone know how to get around this? On OSX, trying to get RSpec running with Rails 3.0.7. Full details at: https://gist.github.com/1017044

  it \"renders but         


        

Answer 1

I was able to fix this issue in my app by adding require 'rspec/rails' to my spec_helper file.

Answer 2

If at all you are using 'spec/features', you may need to add the following to your 'spec_helper.rb'

config.include RSpec::Rails::RequestExampleGroup, type: :feature

Answer 3

I had this issue when I added

gem 'rspec'

to my Gemfile in the rails project. It should be

gem 'rspec'
gem 'rspec-rails'

(or just rspec-rails). After

bundle install

re-create the spec directory with

rspec --init

and put your xxx_spec.rb file in the appropriate directory (won't work if it is in the spec directory). Beginners error but maybe this helps somebody ;) Here's the link that helped me:

Answer 4

For others looking into this. I was trying to track down a undefined method 'get' error. My issue was that I had the get in a describe block make sure your get is in an it block.

Answer 5

If you used rspec to generate the .rspec file, you should change the content from:

--require spec_helper

to:

--require rails_helper

Answer 6

An alternative is to specify type: :request for your spec. For example:

RSpec.describe "Widget management", :type => :request do

  it "creates a Widget and redirects to the Widget's page" do
    get "/widgets/new"
    expect(response).to render_template(:new)

    post "/widgets", :widget => {:name => "My Widget"}

    expect(response).to redirect_to(assigns(:widget))
    follow_redirect!

    expect(response).to render_template(:show)
    expect(response.body).to include("Widget was successfully created.")
  end

end
