when i make a functional test for an action which access the server  
variables with e.g.

@user.last\_ip = request.env\_table[‘REMOTE\_ADDR’]

my functional test breaks… it says that the ‘env\_table’ method is  
undefined.  
the application runs fine with it, only the testing environment does not  
recognize this method …

any commentS?
