I’m using the account\_location plugin to let users create accounts  
([user.site.com](http://user.site.com))

in routes.rb I have:

map.connect ‘’, :controller =\> “site”, :conditions =\> { :subdomain =\>  
‘www’ }  
map.connect ‘’, :controller =\> “accounts”

so I can have a public facing [www.site.com](http://www.site.com) through site\_controller and  
have the accounts\_controller handle everything else.

In my functional tests for the site controller for example, if I do  
something simple like

get :index

the test tells me it’s been routed to the accounts controller. This must  
be because the test doesn’t know the subdomain perhaps. So I try

get ‘[www.site.com](http://www.site.com)’ or get :index, :subdomain =\> ‘www’

and have the same results.

How can you get functional tests to recognize the subdomain? I’m stumped  
on this one.
