Since as soon as you add login to a site your functional tests are going to require a login, there is of course an easy fix documented here. You just add a login method to your test_helper.rb file. Then you call it in your setup method:
def setup @controller = LoginController.new @request = ActionController::TestRequest.new @response = ActionController::TestResponse.new login @controller = AdminController.new end
I made a silly mistake at first and called
1

login
|
right after:
@controller = LoginController.new
Of course I was greeted with a whole bunch of:
RuntimeError: @request is nil: make sure you set it in your test's setup method.
Simple fix was to move it after the creation of the request and response objects needed by the
1

method. At least the error message made it a quick duh! moment.
