When I run my rake test:units I get the following:

DEPRECATION WARNING: Disabling sessions for a single controller has  
been deprecated. Sessions are now lazy loaded. So if you don’t access  
them, consider them off. You can still modify the session cookie  
options with request.session\_options… (called from C:/Users/Wayne/  
Documents/Aptana Studio/chores/app/controllers/  
application\_controller.rb:10)  
Loaded suite C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/  
rake\_test\_loader

EEEE…EEEEEEEE.EEEEEEE

What am I doing that has been deprecated?  
How do I fix?

Thanks,  
Wayne

I commented out the following line in my .app/controllers/  
application\_controller.rb which removed this warning.

```
 session :session_key => '_openidauth_session_id'

```

It looks like you no longer put session information in your  
controllers.
