Testing routes in the console

Question

What do I have to do so that this will work in the console (assuming song is defined, obviously):

edit_song(:id => song.id)

Answer 1

You have access to an app object which you can use to test routes on.

>> app.root_url
=> "http://www.example.com/"
>> app.root_path
=> "/"

Answer 2

> script/console
song = Song.first
edit_song_path(:id=>song.id)

assumes (routes.rb)

   map.resources :songs

Answer 3

The following imports named helpers for me in 3.2.8:
