Passing locale as a symbol should work.

[jamesst20]

Rails : 5.0.7.1
route_translator: 7.1.2
ruby : 2.4.9

Upgrading from Rails 4 to Rails 5 have broken all my tests using localized paths.

Behavior

# Works on Rails 4, fails on Rails 5
post :login_password, params: { locale: I18n.locale, client: { email: client.email } }

Exception

Minitest::UnexpectedError: ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches {:action=>"login_password", :client=>{:email=>"[email protected]"}, :controller=>"sites", :locale=>:"en-ca"}

Temporary Fix (adding .to_s)

post :login_password, params: { locale: I18n.locale.to_s, client: { email: client.email } }

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the route_translator community.

Passing locale as a symbol should work

Yes, it should, but it doesn't. :)

This is also documented in our wiki here: https://github.com/enriclluelles/route_translator/wiki/Generating-translated-URLs

The following considerations still apply #192 (comment)

Closing here as a duplicate of #192

Thank you for the quick response, I will take a look.

A quick fix would not to be simply always calling "to_s" internally so the symbol gets converted to a string?

No, sorry, this is not that simple. I've tried without success.

I will add a note here too: https://github.com/enriclluelles/route_translator#testing The test example uses a string, but it does not specify that it is intended
