Functional test and nested resource

Question

I have a Story resource nested in a User resource. How do I fix this generate functional test?

  test "should create story" do
    assert_difference('Story.count') do
      post :create, story: @story.attributes
    end

    assert_redirected_to story_path(assigns(:story))
  end

DGM solution still have the story_url problem

You need to provide the user id it is nested in:

post :create, story: @story.attributes, user_id: @user.id

The path may be something like,

user_story_path(@user.id, assigns(:story))
