I recommend you read: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html (and then all the other assorted Rails Guides). To get you started, it contains this snippet that might be helpful: Example: Calling the :show action, passing an id of 12 as the params and setting a user_id of 5 in the session: get(:show, {'id' => "12"}, {'user_id' => 5}) Another example: Calling the :view action, passing an id of 12 as the params, this time with no session, but with a flash message. get(:view, {'id' => '12'}, nil, {'message' => 'booya!'}) So for your purposes, I'd think that: get :show, :id => '1' might do fine, assuming that there is indeed a user with ID 1 in your test database. > What makes me pondering is that rake routes > is shows that the route is available Right, but if you look at that line: > user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"} you see ":id", which means you need to supply that somehow. (The :format part is in parens, meaning it's optional.) > Sorry if this question is stupid but I'm still in the learning stage No problem, we all started there too. :-) Kudos to you for testing at all, many people skip that entirely! :-( -Dave -- LOOKING FOR WORK!
