I am using Ruby 1.9.3 with Rails 3.2 (old, I know).

I am having trouble with one controller test. The routes work just fine, the only problem is the test.

The test is placed in project_root/test/functional/api/ubiquo/work_hours_controller_test.rb

And is defined like this:

# encoding: utf-8
require 'test_helper'
class Api::Ubiquo::WorkHoursControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase

  setup :prepare

  test "check_already_logged_in_ubiquo: error if not logged in" do
    get :check_already_logged_in_ubiquo, format: :json
    assert_response :unauthorized
  end

  def prepare
    # I tried both specifying the controller like this and also letting Rails do it
    @controller = Api::Ubiquo::WorkHoursController.new
  end
  
end

The controller is placed in project_root/app/controllers/api/ubiquo/work_hours_controller.rb and is defined like this. (I simplified it to debug)

class Api::Ubiquo::WorkHoursController < Api::Ubiquo::BaseController
  def check_already_logged_in_ubiquo
    respond_to do |format|
      format.json { render json: { message: 'Not logged in' }, status: :unauthorized }
    end
  end
end

rellevant part of routes.rb:

scope :path => "api", :format => 'json' do
  get 'ubiquo/check_already_logged_in_ubiquo', to: 'api/ubiquo/work_hours#check_already_logged_in_ubiquo'

  # I also tried this:
  # namespace :ubiquo do
  #    get 'check_already_logged_in_ubiquo', to: 'api/ubiquo/work_hours#check_already_logged_in_ubiquo'
  # end
end

rake routes returns the correct route (with works when running the app)

ubiquo_check_already_logged_in_ubiquo GET    /api/ubiquo/check_already_logged_in_ubiquo(.:format)             api/ubiquo/work_hours#check_already_logged_in_ubiquo {:format=>"json"}

The error I get is:

ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches {:format=>:json, :controller=>"api/ubiquo/work_hours", :action=>"check_already_logged_in_ubiquo"}

I have also tried defining the test as class CustomWorkHoursControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase (without the modules Api::Ubiquo) and then the error does not fire but request just returns 406. In no case the debugger reaches the controller.

All other controller tests are working just fine, including those in /api, just not those in /api/ubiquo.

I really don’t know what else to try.
