I seem to be missing a test helper I thought was  
standard…`assert\_session\_has’, any ideas?

A google search led me to  
[http://rubythis.blogspot.com/2006/12/ruby-on-rails-deprecations-part-1.html](http://rubythis.blogspot.com/2006/12/ruby-on-rails-deprecations-part-1.html)  
which suggests assert\_session\_has was deprecated in 2006 so I imagine  
it is long gone now. The suggestion there is to use  
assert(@response.has\_session\_object?(key)) but I cannot vouch for  
that.
