One of my tests looks like this…

require ‘test\_helper’

class ResortsControllerTest \< ActionController::TestCase

# other tests

def test\_destroy\_works\_when\_admin  
UserSession.create(users(:admin)) # logs a user in  
resort = Resort.first  
delete :destroy, :id =\> resort  
assert\_redirected\_to resorts\_url  
assert !Resort.exists?(resort.id)  
end

end

It works fine and passes when I do this

rake test:functionals TEST=test/functional/resorts\_controller\_test.rb

* * *

But when I do this (run it with my other tests)

rake

It fails, like this

1. Failure:  
test\_destroy\_works\_when\_admin(ResortsControllerTest)  
[/test/functional/resorts\_controller\_test.rb:104]:  
Expected response to be a redirect to [http://test.host/resorts](http://test.host/resorts) but was  
a redirect to [http://test.host/user\_sessions/new](http://test.host/user_sessions/new).

Here’s my test\_helper

ENV[“RAILS\_ENV”] = “test”  
require File.expand\_path(File.dirname( **FILE** ) +  
“/…/config/environment”)  
require ‘test\_help’  
require “authlogic/test\_case” # include at the top of test\_helper.rb

class ActiveSupport::TestCase

self.use\_transactional\_fixtures = true  
self.use\_instantiated\_fixtures = false  
fixtures :all

end

Hi bingo bob

A guess is you are losing session somehow? What is the setup method  
(if any) for this test? Also would like to see the related controller  
code after that

Sorry for the copy and paste error, yes the setup should have been  
listed, the test code in question is as follows.

require ‘test\_helper’

class ResortsControllerTest \< ActionController::TestCase

setup :activate\_authlogic # run before tests are executed

# other tests

def test\_destroy\_works\_when\_admin  
UserSession.create(users(:admin)) # logs a user in  
resort = Resort.first  
delete :destroy, :id =\> resort  
assert\_redirected\_to resorts\_url  
assert !Resort.exists?(resort.id)  
end

end

Any ideas as to what I might be missing here?
