Rails Hello World Lab

In this lab you will integrate a static route so that the application will render a "Hello World" page.

Objectives

1. Draw a route
2. Map a route to a controller/action
3. Render (implicitly or explicitly) a static template
4. Create a static template

Instructions

Below are the tasks that you will need to complete in order to finish the lab:

• Integrate a route for localhost:3000/hello_world.
• Create a static controller that inherits from the application controller and contains the hello_world action. You can have the call to the view file occur using either the implicit or explicit processes.
• Create a file in the views directory that will be called by the static controller's hello_world action, and add the heading <h1>Hello World</h1> to the file. The test is case sensitive, so make sure you enter it exactly as shown.

The RSpec/Capybara test suite is currently not passing. Run the tests to see what you need to fix. It might be helpful to fire up the Rails server (via the rails s command) in order to manually test the functionality of your route, action, and view. For students in the IDE, here's a Help Center article if you run into trouble with rails s.
