Shoulda route matcher with subdomains - minitest

Question

I am using shoulda matchers to test critical routes on Rails 4.2.1 with Ruby 2.2.0 on a new application. I just moved my API namespace to a subdomain, and I can't figure out how to get the shoulda routes matcher (or any other concise routes test) to work.
Here is some example code:
config/routes.rb (using versionist for versioning, but that shouldn't be relevant)
namespace :api, path: '', constraints: { subdomain: 'api'} do
api_version(module: 'V1',
path: {value: 'v1'},
defaults: {format: 'json'}, default: true) do
resources :bills, only: :index
end
end
app/controllers/api/v1/bills_controller.rb
module API
module V1
class Bill < APIVersionsController
# GET api.example.com/v1/bills.json
def index
#bills = Bill.all.limit(10)
render json: #bills
end
end
end
end
test/controllers/api/v1/routing_test.rb
module API
module V1
class RoutingTest < ActionController::TestCase
setup { #request.host = 'http://api.example.com' }
should route('/v1/bills')
.to(controller: :bill, action: :index, format: :json)
end
end
end
Before I was using a subdomain, should route('/api/v1/bills').to(action: :index, format: :json) in my BillsControllerTest worked just fine.
Now, when I run rake test, I get Minitest::Assertion: No route matches "/v1/bills".
I've tried putting this in the BillControllerTest (no change);
I've tried an integration test (route matcher doesn't work);
I've tried setting the host with setup { host! 'api.example.com' } and setup { #request.host = 'api.example.com' }
I've tried putting the full URL in the get request ( { get 'http://api.example.com/v1/bills' } );
and I've tried putting subdomain: 'api' and constraints: subdomain: 'api' anywhere that might make sense.
What is a concise way to do route testing with subdomains/what is the current best practice? Is there a way to get the shoulda route matcher to work with them?

Answer 1

This ended up being a simple fix. I just needed to add a subdomain constraint in the #to method and ensure the #route method had the full url:
module API
module V1
class RoutingTest < ActionController::TestCase
should route(:get, 'http://api.example.com/v1')
.to('api/v1/data#index',
subdomain: 'api',
format: :json)
...
Or, if you are in data_controller_test.rb,
module API
module V1
class DataControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
should route(:get, 'http://api.example.com/v1')
.to(action: :index,
subdomain: 'api',
format: :json)
...
