UrlGenerationError when testing controller usinf Rspec

Question

I am trying to run basic controller test.

My controller_spec.rb looks like:

class Test < ActionController::Base
  def test_meth
    puts 'hello for test meth'
    head 200
  end
end

describe Test do
  it 'responds with 200' do
    get :test_meth
    expect(response.status).to eq(200)
  end
end

When I run this spec I end up with an error

ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches {:action=>"test_meth", :controller=>"test"}

I am not sure if I am missing something very basic here becasue this looks very straight forward. Any help is much appreciated.

The error is clear, in your routes.rb file you have not written the action correctly.

You must have.

get "test", to: "test#test_meth"
