I am wondering how to pass parameters to route declarations. I have an  
app where one project belongs to a user. In one of my integration tests,  
I want to check that the template being rendered is the one where the  
“logged in user” can register a project:

get new\_user\_project\_path(:user) #does not work  
#assert\_template ‘/users/:id/project/new’ #id must be this user’s id,  
how?  
assert\_template ‘projects/new’ #true, but must be /user/:id/project/new

rake routes says:

POST /users/:user\_id/project  
{:action=\>“create”, :controller=\>“projects”}

new\_user\_project GET /users/:user\_id/project/new  
{:action=\>“new”, :controller=\>“projects”}

Thanks,
