Strange before_filter error. is this a bug i have found?

Rails
1

…
before_filter :find_regression_test

def find_regression_test
@regression_test=RegressionTest.find(8)
end
…

The above seems like perfectly normal before_filter syntax, but it gives
this error. Aldo is no application trace, just a framework trace:
Any idea what is wrong?

NoMethodError in Regression testsController#modify_regression_test

private method `equal?’ called for false:FalseClass

I don’t know what is the name of your controller but if its a Rails
reserved
name you may have a conflict.

try redefine find_regression_test method (and or controller) with some
other
name

Most likely this should fix the problem
