Testing Named Routes in the Rails Console

Posted by: Stuart in Programming, tags: , , ,

I finally found out how to do this, from the Rails Routing shortcut by David Black. In the Rails console, do this:

include ActionController::UrlWriter
default_url_options[:host] = 'whatever'

Then you can call your named route methods directly from the console.

    Interesting…but as a side note, I just noticed that the pdf you referenced has been included in The Rails Way book. Just some info for anyone considering purchasing that pdf like I did.

    For those of you who find this and are using Rails3, ActionController::UrlWriter has been deprecated. Instead use:

    include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
