I am a beginner in Rails and using old version 4.0 with Rspec. I want to test on the controller where my route is following.

/properties/:property_id/build

I can test /properties/1 by writing the following

get :show, id: properties
expect(response).to have_http_status(:success)

But not sure how can I write property's id number to build controller whose route is above. It means to show the method I have to put properties id and build but later on for update I have to put two parameters.

You can pass property_id with params like

get :build, params: { property_id: property.id } #You pass additional parameters with this.

Here property_id is :property_id in /properties/:property_id/build

If its a get request then, 

get :build, params: {id: properties, second_param: "something" }

(assuming properties is the Property object from your example and the second param is second_param)

There is one get request and one post request but params are in url too!
you can put all the params inside params key to test
but I am still getting error undefined local variable or method `properties' for #<RSpec::ExampleGroups::PropertiesBuildController

I am a beginner so I think I got the incorrect understanding of Routing and controller tests. As it was still giving an error and after discussing with another programmer. I finally resolved using the following pattern.

get :new, property_id: property.id
