hi,  
i was wondering, where i can find the source for “get(…), post(…)”  
methods. since i can see these are inherited from  
ActionController::TestCase. i had a quick look on the actionpack/lib/  
test\_case.rb and later i found it is inherited from  
ActiveSupport::TestCase and making no exception i had a look on  
activesupport/lib/test\_case.rb

again i found that was inherited from Test::Unit::TestCase. so i think  
these “get, post, put” methods are coming from some other script which  
was added in different place.

is there someone how could help me to tell where i can find the source  
for “get, post, put…” methods of ActionController::TestCase.

best wishes,

They’re in test\_process.rb, line 361 (if you’re on rails 2.0.2)
