Hi

I have upgraded to 2.3.2 and changed updated everything inside  
myproject :

This is my functional TEST :

require ‘test\_helper’

class Admin::ProjectsControllerTest \< ActiveSupport::TestCase

def test\_get\_index  
get :index  
assert\_response :success  
assert\_not\_nil assigns(:projects)  
end

end

This is my console :

s128:test pietia$ ruby functional/admin/projects\_controller\_test.rb  
Loaded suite functional/admin/projects\_controller\_test  
Started  
E  
Finished in 0.119872 seconds.

1. Error:  
test\_get\_index(Admin::ProjectsControllerTest):  
NoMethodError: undefined method `get' for #<Admin::ProjectsControllerTest:0x25f0df0> functional/admin/projects_controller_test.rb:6:in`test\_get\_index’

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors

Project\_controller have index method and it works in browser.

I dont have idea how to solve it, google also don’t give me any  
answers.

You should have changed that to ActionController::TestCase.

You need “fixtures :projects” here.

derive from action controller ( i copied heading from unit test )

Shouldn’t that be like ActiveController::TestCase

?
