Functional vs integration tests with restful_auth

Rails

Hi,

in functional/projects_controller_test.rb

def test_should_show_project_home_page_as_public_exists
get :show, :id => 2
assert_redirected_to :controller => ‘pages’, :action => ‘show’,
‘id’ => ‘home’, :project_id => 2
end

SUCCEEDS

def test_should_show_project_as_submitter_no_submission
login_as(‘imasubmitter’)
get :show, :id => 2
default_text = “No submissions present for this project.”
assert_select “p#test-for”, default_text
end

SUCCEEDS

in integration/rr_stories_test.rb

def test_submitter
new_session do |submitter|
submitter.logs_in_as(‘imasubmitter’,‘test’)

   get project_url(2)
   assert_redirected_to :controller => 'pages', :action =>

‘show’, ‘id’ => ‘home’, :project_id => 2 # this passes but should
fail, that is, user is logged in so shouldnt redirect

   assert submitter.logged_in? # fails => no method defined

   #p = Project.find(2)
   #assert submitter.has_role( 'submitter', p)

 end

end

QUESTIONS:

You can see the projects controller tests pass. Anonymous user is
redirected. Logged in one lands on page.

In integration test however,

  1. user does not seem to get logged in, because controller is
    redirecting. Why isnt he logged in?
  2. how can i assert whether the login worked? (testing the test here,
    i guess)
    once 1 and 2 are working, then
  3. how can i access methods defined by the authorization plugin for a
    given user?

thanks for any help or suggestions

hi, i did get the login working but i still wonder what it would take
to be able to use, in an integration test, the methods .logged_in?
and .is_member_of methods from the authentication and authorization
plug ins
