The Way of the Web Tester

HTTP DELETE

No surprises here with HTTP DELETE. All we do here is send an HTTP DELETE request along with the ID of the permit we would like to delete.

In this case, we can delete the test permit set up for us in setup and then verify it’s gone by searching for it after:

test 'HTTP DELETE' do
  delete permit_path(@permit)
  assert_response :redirect

  assert_raises(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) do
    get permit_path(@permit)
  end
end
