Hi,

From the docs I see:  
[http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Assertions/ResponseAssertions.html](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Assertions/ResponseAssertions.html)

This match can be partial, such that assert\_redirected\_to(:controller =\>  
“weblog”) will also match the redirection of redirect\_to(:controller =\>  
“weblog”, :action =\> “show”) and so on

But it my case it does not work. As assert\_redirected\_to(:controller =\>  
‘articles’) expects the index action of ArticlesController to be  
triggered.

Any idea why I’m getting this behavior?
