Rspec and named routes
Solution 1:
Named routes should work if you put the following in rspec_helper.rb:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
...
end
Is that how you set it up?
Solution 2:
I don't think you have access to named routes inside of your rspec controller specs. You could however just do visit('/'), which is the equivalent of root_path.
