The following tests are failing:

test\_should\_fail\_cookie\_login  
test\_should\_login\_with\_cookie  
test\_should\_fail\_login\_and\_not\_redirect  
test\_should\_fail\_expired\_cookie\_login

Error message:

test\_should\_fail\_cookie\_login(SessionsControllerTest):  
ActionView::TemplateError: session\_url failed to generate from  
{:action=\>“show”, :controller=\>“sessions”} - you may have ambiguous  
routes, or you may need to supply additional parameters for this  
route. content\_url has the following required parameters:  
[“sessions”, :id] - are they all satisfied?  
On line #1 of app/views/sessions/new.html.erb

```
1: <% form_tag session_path do -%>
2: <p><label for="login">Login</label><br/>
3: <%= text_field_tag 'login' %></p>

```

Did anyone resolve this issue? TIA.

All resources in Rails 2.0 (even singular ones) are to be referred to as  
plural ones; see the Rails 2.0 PR announcement for the details.

So don’t do:

session\_path

And instead do:

sessions\_path
