url helpers in tests not found

[megatux]

Hi, I have errors running the autogenerated tests for my controller. The url helpers methods are not found.

I created a new rails app this way and ran tests (some edits & other installed gems are omitted):

rails new sample-bun_tailwind_phlex_htmx -j bun -c tailwind -d sqlite3 --skip-hotwire --skip-jbuilder --skip-bootsnap`

bundle add phlex-rails
bin/rails generate phlex:install
bin/rails g phlex:controller Articles index show

# running tests:

bin/rails test
....


# Running:

E

Error:
ArticlesControllerTest#test_should_get_show:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `articles_show_url' for an instance of ArticlesControllerTest
    test/controllers/articles_controller_test.rb:12:in `block in <class:ArticlesControllerTest>'


bin/rails test test/controllers/articles_controller_test.rb:11

E

Error:
ArticlesControllerTest#test_should_get_index:

Should I include Phlex::Rails::Helpers::Routes somewhere in the test?

I can’t tell without seeing your test.

Oh, sure. I thought with the pasted commands and the output would be enough to duplicate it. There were no edits, just the generated code:

require "test_helper"

class ArticlesControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  test "should get index" do
    get articles_index_url
    assert_response :success
  end

  test "should get show" do
    get articles_show_url
    assert_response :success
  end
end

The public repo for this app that uses Bun, Phlex, htmx and Tailwind is here (I fixed these tests in one of the latest commits).
Thanks!

I think you might just be calling the wrong methods. I would expect this to be articles_url or articles_path and article_url(article) or articles_url(article) where article was an instance of a persisted Article. You can run bin/rails routes -g article to see what your paths are.

I don’t understand how the test was generated like that, but we’re removing the controller generator anyway because none of us use it and no one wants to maintain it. 😅
