    <p>So my first question on Stackoverflow..... =]</p> <p>My tests in Chapter 5.3.2 of <a href="http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/filling-in-the-layout#sec-rails_routes" rel="noreferrer">Michael Hartl's RoR Tutorial</a> are all failing, when the tutorial says it should be passing (tutorial says 'about', 'contact', and 'help' should pass... but all of mine fail). Everything til now worked fine, but I changed the </p> <pre><code>get 'static_pages/help' </code></pre> <p>to </p> <pre><code>match '/help', to: 'static_pages#help' </code></pre> <p>so that my </p> <h2><strong>config/routes.rb</strong></h2> <pre><code>SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do root to: 'static_pages#home' match '/help', to: 'static_pages#help' match '/about', to: 'static_pages#about' match '/contact', to: 'static_pages#contact' </code></pre> <p>and then everything went to hell. All my tests fails with a undefined local variable or method 'root_path' or 'about_path' etc. (see below, Terminal Output). But here are my relevant files... Just in case anyone is curious, all the files are exactly what Hartl has. I basically copied and pasted each file's content. </p> <p>Can someone help me?????? Thanks!</p> <h2><strong>spec/static_pages_spec.rb</strong></h2> <pre><code>require 'spec_helper' describe "Static pages" do describe "Home page" do it "should have the h1 'Sample App'" do visit root_path page.should have_selector('h1', text: 'Sample App') end it "should have the base title" do visit root_path page.should have_selector('title', text: "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App") end it "should not have a custom page title" do visit root_path page.should_not have_selector('title', text: '| Home') end end describe "Help page" do it "should have the h1 'Help'" do visit help_path page.should have_selector('h1', text: 'Help') end it "should have the title 'Help'" do visit help_path page.should have_selector('title', text: "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | Help") end end describe "About page" do it "should have the h1 'About'" do visit about_path page.should have_selector('h1', text: 'About Us') end it "should have the title 'About Us'" do visit about_path page.should have_selector('title', text: "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | About Us") end end describe "Contact page" do it "should have the h1 'Contact'" do visit contact_path page.should have_selector('h1', text: 'Contact') end it "should have the title 'Contact'" do visit contact_path page.should have_selector('title', text: "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | Contact") end end end </code></pre> <h2><strong>Terminal output with input 'rspec spec/'</strong></h2> <pre><code>FFFFFFFFF Failures: 1) Static pages Contact page should have the h1 'Contact' Failure/Error: visit contact_path NameError: undefined local variable or method `contact_path' for #&lt;RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_4:0x007fd2093855f8&gt;

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
