def test\_create  
num\_articles = Article.count

```
post :create, :article => {}

assert_response :redirect
assert_redirected_to :action => 'list'

assert_equal num_articles + 1, Article.count

```

end

def test\_edit  
get :edit, :id =\> 1

```
assert_response :success
assert_template 'edit'

assert_not_nil assigns(:article)
assert assigns(:article).valid?

```

end

1. Failure:  
test\_create(ArticlesControllerTest) [test/functional/  
articles\_controller\_test.rb:99]:  
Expected response to be a redirect to [http://test.host/articles/list](http://test.host/articles/list)  
but was a redirect to [http://test.host/admin/login](http://test.host/admin/login).

2. Failure:  
test\_edit(ArticlesControllerTest) [test/functional/  
articles\_controller\_test.rb:107]:  
Expected response to be a \<:success\>, but was \<302\>

This is happenening because of the before\_filter :login\_required, in  
your controller. You will have to stub out the user authentication  
methods in order for your tests to pass.
