Scenario
Given an author named 'Alan Turing' When a user visits the author's page Then no error should occour
Error
Got ActionController::UnknownFormat: AuthorsController#show is missing a template for this request format and variant.
request.formats: ["text/html"] request.variant: []
NOTE! For XHR/Ajax or API requests, this action would normally respond with 204 No Content: an empty white screen. Since you're loading it in a web browser, we assume that you expected to actually render a template, not nothing, so we're showing an error to be extra-clear. If you expect 204 No Content, carry on. That's what you'll get from an XHR or API request. Give it a shot.
If you have problems solving this task, please don't hesitate to contact the teaching team!

Hints
There should be a page that shows all of an author's details: the
showpage / details page.Did you know? You can use
FactoryBot.create :authorto create and save a valid author object in your tests. If you un-comment the code inspec/factories/authors.rb, the author will be initialized with meaningful values.To visit the details page of an author in a test, you can use
visit author_path(@alan).You should create a separate file for feature tests for the author details page, make sure it ends with
_spec.rb, so that RSpec recognizes it as a test and runs it. You can test for the existence of text on a page using thehave_textmatcher:expect(page).to have_text(...).In order to implement the required behavior a
showaction on the AuthorsController as well as a new view (app/views/authors/show.html.erb) will be needed. The relevant section of the Ruby on Rails guide for this is here.Error
