RailsRouteChecker

A linting tool that helps you find any routes defined in your routes.rb file that don't have a corresponding controller action, and find any _path or _url calls that don't have a corresponding route in the routes.rb file.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails-route-checker', require: false

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails-route-checker

Run rails-route-checker from your command line while in the root folder of your Rails application.

You may also specify a custom config file using the -c or --config flag. By default, the config file is search for at .rails-route-checker.yml. More information on the config file can be found below.

rails-route-checker will scan controllers along with Haml and ERb view files.

bundle exec rails-route-checker

The following 1 routes are defined, but have no corresponding controller action.
If you have recently added a route to routes.rb, make sure a matching action exists in the controller.
If you have recently removed a controller action, also remove the route in routes.rb.
 - oauth_apps/authorizations#show


The following 1 url and path methods don't correspond to any route.
 - app/controllers/application_controller.rb:L707 - call to potential_url

By default, rails-route-checker will look for a config file .rails-route-checker.yml. However, you can override this by using the --config command line flag.

The following is an example config file:

# Any controllers you don't want to check
ignored_controllers:
  - oauth_apps/authorizations

# Any paths or url methods that you want to be globally ignored
# i.e. confirmation_url and confirmation_path will never be linted against
ignored_paths:
  - confirmation

# For specific files, ignore specific path or url calls
ignored_path_whitelist:
  app/controllers/application_controller.rb:
      - potential_url
  app/views/my_controller/my_view.haml:
    - paginate_url
