Overview

I was confused about how to specify the path of the nested resource for a moment, so I will record it as a memorandum.

How to specify

** Conclusion: ** rails routes to list and check the routes!

(Example) Specify the path in the request test of Rspec

Suppose you have declared routing like this:

`routes.rb`


  resources :datespots do
    resources :comments, only: [:create, :destroy]
  end

rails routes in the terminal will list the routes.

                   Prefix Verb   URI Pattern                                                                              Controller#Action
(abridgement)
        datespot_comments POST   /datespots/:datespot_id/comments(.:format)                                               comments#create
         datespot_comment DELETE /datespots/:datespot_id/comments/:id(.:format)                                           comments#destroy
(abridgement)

Based on this, you can specify the path and it's OK!

`comments_spec.rb`


(abridgement)
    it "Comments with valid content can be registered" do
      expect {
        post "/datespots/#{datespot.id}/comments", params: {
          datespot_id: datespot.id,
          comment: { content: "It's fashionable!" }
        }
      }.to change(datespot.comments, :count).by(1)
    end
(abridgement)
