Instructions
Many of the spec tests are already passing for this lab, but there are some additional ones –– including our first use of controller tests –– located here:
Controller Specs -
specs/controllers/students_controller_spec.rb
Capybara Specs -
specs/features/student_spec.rb:37
When this lab is complete, your application should have the following behavior:
User fills out the form on
students/new
When the form is submitted, a new record is created in the database
After the user submits the form, they are redirected to the
show
page that renders theStudent
record that they created
Make sure to use a route helper method to redirect to the show
page at the end of the create
method. You can find the correct syntax for this route by running rake routes
in the terminal.
