Sorry, I have done the changes manually and was missing things (the admin directory).
Thanks for the great tutorial!

Hey fabio, are you using the Rails in-built testing? Sure your controller is called CitiesController and is namespaced under admin?

Hello, thanks for the post!
But how do I refactor my tests? I renamed them to Admin::CitiesControllerTest, and now I get this:

ActionController::NonInferrableControllerError: Unable to determine the controller to test from Admin::CitiesControllerTest. You’ll need to specify it using ‘tests YourController’ in your test case definition. This could mean that Admin::CitiesController does not exist or it contains syntax errors

Do I really need to specify my controller to be tested?

Anyone else reading these comments please realise that using @f as a block variable will be deprecated as of 1.9, and is not considered best practice.

Hey oliver, instead of passing the form object as a local to your partial, you could define it as |@f|, that way you save yourself some typing!

To submit to the admin form you need to specify in the form_for that it’s namespaced:

form_for [:admin, @product] do |@f|

For example.

Sorry, the code got removed. The form part looks like this:
form_for(@admin_product) do |f|
And then I render a partial.

How do you make the edit/add forms submit to the admin controller? My edit for looks like this: (I hope these posts support code…)

“shared/product_form”, :locals => {:f => f, :label_text => “Update”} %>

Since it’s using the form for and the actual object it submits to the normal product controller. I’ve tried a few things, but I can’t figure out how to make it submit to the admin/product_controller. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
