When I hit this url using my browser, this part works perfectly.

What am I doing wrong and how can I rectify this to make the tests pass?
Rails assigns the part of the path ('foo/bar') that matches the wildcard segment (*path) to a request parameter with the same name as the segment, so the action can see how the client got there.
You just need to add the parameter to the result that your test expects:
describe UserController do
describe 'wildcard route'
it "routes to users#index with path set to the requested path" do
expect(get: '/foo/bar').to route_to(
controller: 'users', action: 'index', path: 'foo/bar')
end
end
end
