Why does the test pass when it shouldn't?

Question

Ruby on Rails

In general, there is a test

require 'test_helper'

class StaticPagesControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  test "should get home" do
    get static_pages_home_url
    assert_response :success
  end

  test "should get help" do
    get static_pages_help_url
    assert_response :success
  end

  test "should get about" do
    get static_pages_about_url
    assert_response :success
  end  

end

but in the static_pages_controller.rb file I commented out all the methods

class StaticPagesController < ApplicationController
  # def home
  # end

  # def help
  # end

  # def about
  # end
end

And for some reason this test passes without errors! Moreover, I can go to the help and about pages! The methods are commented out in the controller file... how can that be?

Answer 1

cleared the browser cache, restarted the server rail... the same! What a pancake for a mystic ...
In general, I deleted all the methods from the controller file and I can still go to the pages and the test shows that everything is ok. I'm totally in shock.
rake routes gives

Prefix Verb URI Pattern                   Controller#Action
 static_pages_home GET  /static_pages/home(.:format)  static_pages#home
 static_pages_help GET  /static_pages/help(.:format)  static_pages#help
static_pages_about GET  /static_pages/about(.:format) static_pages#about
              root GET  /                             application#hello

Understood.... in the fifth rails it is enough to add a route and a view and there will be a working link. Even if the controller is not touched at all ....

Answer 2

clear cache, restart rails.
