Hi,

Anyone know how to do integration testing with the “Restful  
Authentication” plugin?

I’ve been trying this, without luck :

def login\_session(user)  
open\_session do |sess|  
sess.extend(CustomDsl)  
sess.extend(AuthenticatedTestHelper); #\<\<my clever idea  
sess.login\_as(users(user))#\<\<won’t work  
end  
end

but predictably it splats on the last line. Various objects aren’t  
available to the helper code.

What should I be doing?

thanks
