Hi, while starting to setup functional tests for my application I  
received the following error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `server\_name’ for  
#\<ActionController::TestRequest

which is coming from an instance variable I’m setting up in my  
application controller.

@domain = Domain.find\_or\_create\_by\_name(request.server\_name)

I’m using rails 2.0.2, any guidance would be appreciated.
