I have this assertion in my tests:

assert\_redirected\_to :controller =\> ‘user’, :action =\> ‘change\_password’

It fails with:

response is not a redirection to all of the options supplied  
(redirection is \<“[http://test.host/user/change\_password](http://test.host/user/change_password)”\>),  
difference: \<{:controller=\>“user”}\>

The redirection was:

redirect\_to ‘/user/change\_password’

Anyone know why this happens?

Greetings,

Pedro.

Pedro, I’ve seen the same problem. Did you ever find an answer?

Anyone in the community care to way in?

No, not yet. I just commented out the test for now…

Try doing redirect\_to :controller =\> “user”, :action =\>  
“change\_password” maybe?

Yes, that works, but doesn’t do what I want. I’m saving request\_uri in  
the session and then recalling it with redirect\_to. It’s not a fixed  
redirect.
