    <p>I'm up to the <a href="http://ruby.railstutorial.org/book/ruby-on-rails-tutorial#sec-updating_deleting_exercises" rel="nofollow">Chapter 9 Exercises</a> in Hartl's Rails Tutorial. I've been trying for ages but can't crack question 6:</p> <blockquote> <p>Signed-in users have no reason to access the <code>new</code> and <code>create</code> actions in the <code>Users</code> controller. Arrange for such users to be redirected to the root URL if they do try to hit those pages.</p> </blockquote> <p>First, where should I put these tests? At the moment I'm trying in <code>user_pages_spec.rb</code> but I'm unsure if that's right. And then where should I put the logic itself?</p> <p>Second, is this what my test should look like:</p> <pre><code> describe "after signing-in" do before { sign_in(user) } describe "creating a new user" do before { put new_user_path } specify { response.should redirect_to(root_url) } end end </code></pre> <p>At the moment when I do the above, RSpec tells me </p> <pre> Expected response to be a redirect to but was a redirect to http://www.example.com/signin. </pre> <p>But when I test it in my browser, visiting <code>http://localhost:3000/users/new</code> with a signed-in user, there is no redirect at all (which makes more sense to me because I haven't coded one).</p> <p>I've even downloaded Hartl's code from github but I can't see where / if he has included this functionality.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I've got both</p> <pre><code> describe "creating a new user" do before { visit new_user_path } it { should_not have_selector 'title', text: full_title('Sign Up') } end </code></pre> <p>And</p> <pre><code> describe "creating a new user" do before { get new_user_path } # note the use of GET here not PUT specify { response.should redirect_to(root_url) } end </code></pre> <p>to work properly. Thanks to @Peter de Ridder for help</p>

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.
