RUBY – RSPEC NAMEERROR: Did you mean? CategorySerializer

Good Morning. I wanted to understand why when testing my RSPEC, the Categories controller, it is giving the error message below:

An error occurred while loading ./spec/controllers/api/v1/categories_controller_spec.rb.
Failure/Error:
  RSpec.describe CategoriesController, type => :controller do
    describe "GET index" do
      it 'has a 200 status code' do
        get :index
        expect(response.status).to eq(200)
      end
    end
  end

NameError:
  uninitialized constant CategoriesController
  Did you mean? CategorySerializer

This is my Factorybot

FactoryBot.define do
factory :category do
sequence(:name) { |n| "Category #{n}" }
end
end

This is my spec/controllers/api/v1/categories_controller_spec.rb

require 'rails_helper'

>Solution :

It seems to me that you forgot to add all the modules of this class. Try to update the spec/controllers/api/v1/categories_controller_spec.rb to:

require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe Api::V1::CategoriesController, type => :controller do
  describe "GET index" do
    it 'has a 200 status code' do
      get :index
      expect(response.status).to eq(200)
    end
  end
end
