My test is returning this error: param is missing-CodePudding

currently i am using this endpoint to create a new article

http://localhost:3000/api/v1/post/1/articles

in my test with rspec

i am doing this

RSpec.describe 'Api::V1::Articles', type: :request do
...
describe 'POST /create' do
      context "valid" do
        let!(:articles_params) { {
          name: "art", 
          post_id: @post.id
          } }
        it 'creates a new article' do
          expect { post :"/api/v1/posts/#{post.id}/articles" , params: articles_params }.to change(Article,:count).by(1)
        end
      end
    end

i am getting this error:

ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty: article

CodePudding user response：

The error is because :/api/v1/create isn’t a valid symbol.

For request paths, you should provide them as strings instead, e.g.

expect { post "/api/v1/create", params: articles_params }
  .to change(Article, :count).by(1)
