There’s no way we can tell just from this. Some where in your Calendar  
controller’s index method (or one of the filters etc…) you are calling  
redirect.

Well if your index does a redirect (and is supposed to) then your test  
shouldn’t contain assert\_response :success, which (in effect) asserts  
that you didn’t redirect

The general solution for tests that fail is to fix your code 🙂  
Without seeing what’s in your controller, it’s impossible to give very  
specific advice beyond just guessing.

You either need to fix your controller (assuming the integration test  
demonstrates the correct behaviour) or change your test, assuming your  
controller is doing the right thing.  
I’m guessing you actually want to do get ‘/calendar/year’ in your test,  
since you appear to be trying to test that bit of functionality.
