Routing specs

Routing specs are marked by type: :routing or if you have set config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location! by placing them in spec/routing.

Simple apps with nothing but standard RESTful routes won't get much value from routing specs, but they can provide significant value when used to specify customized routes, like vanity links, slugs, etc.

ruby
expect(:get => "/articles/2012/11/when-to-use-routing-specs").to route_to(
  :controller => "articles",
  :month => "2012-11",
  :slug => "when-to-use-routing-specs"
)

They are also valuable for routes that should not be available:

ruby
expect(:delete => "/accounts/37").not_to be_routable
