My “learning experience” plugin works. Not everything I have tried worked, but I have been able to find ways to do much of what I’ve been interested in having it do.

Experience has taught me that I prefer to test often and fix problems before things get more complex. I understand that developers might feel that testing is boring, or at least not as much fun as writing “real” code. But I know myself well enough that if I tell myself “I’ll do it later”, there will be a good chance I will never do it, and even if I do the task will have become so large it will be intimidating.

Hence my interest in writing QUnit and RSpec tests earlier rather than later.

I often look at examples of what works to guide my learning. Sadly, most plugins I have looked at do not have RSpec tests. Discourse itself has many, and for the most part they all pass. (jhead and svgo being the pesky exceptions for me)

I am particularly interested in finding a way for the "get"s to work.  
Frustratingly, when I try a path I get a “no matching action” message, and when I try an action I get a “no matching path” message.

The tests as they are now are a bit of a mishmash. some meaningless, some that pass but not for the reason I’d hoped, and there are a lot of commented out lines.  
That is, the tests are very much in a “pre-alpha newbie” state.

I imagine most of my problems result from my newbieness and hope I’m just missing something simple. I have been mostly using the Relish documentation, but mabye I should be looking elsewhere?
