Hi,

I’m writing very simply plugin that simply installs some stuff into  
public folder and provides wrapper over link\_to helper.

I’m trying to write tests for it, but I’m getting “undefined link\_to  
method” error when I try to run tests (my “custom\_link\_to” helper uses  
“link\_to”). The plugin itself works fine. Here’s the code:  
[Parked at Loopia](http://pastie.caboo.se/185467) . Using Rails 1.2.6.

Regards
