How did rails know that the "create" method should be fired ?

Rspec shows this error : Failure/Error: click_button "Save" AbstractController::ActionNotFound: The action 'create' could not be found for TodoItemsController

How did rails know that by clicking the Save button the create method should be fired??

Hi there,

Difficult to say how Rails nows that - suffice it to say, somewhere your code needed that method to be called.

Let's worry about the problem, not the minutiae of the error.

What test failed? What was the test looking at? What did the rest of the output say?

From there, we can figure out how to correct the code you are running.

Steve.

No I know how to fix the error but I really want an answer to this question and I don't care how complicated it is.But not knowing drives me crazy :)

The stack trace shows you exactly where the code track went to get to the method that finally gave up the ghost.
