I'm following along with RailsSpace: Building a Social Networking Website with Ruby on Rails by Michael Hartl. Running rails v2.3.2.
I've gotten to the 5th chapter in which testing is introduced. The following is supposed to match the title of the various pages to strings using the get method:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
require 'site_controller'
# Re-raise errors caught by the controller.
class SiteController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end
class SiteControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@controller = SiteController.new
@request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
@response = ActionController::TestResponse.new
end
def test_index
get :index
title = assigns(:title)
assert_equal "Welcome to RailsSpace!", title
assert_response :success
assert_template "index"
end
def test_about
get :title
title = assigns(:title)
assert_equal "About RailsSpace", title
assert_response :success
assert_template "about"
end
def test_help
get :help
title = assigns(:title)
assert_equal "RailsSpace Help", title
assert_response :success
assert_template "help"
end
end
On compiling I get:
Loaded suite site_controller_test
Started
EEE
Finished in 0.057 seconds.
1) Error:
test_about(SiteControllerTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `get' for #<SiteControllerTest:0x4854b30>
site_controller_test.rb:23:in `test_about'
2) Error:
test_help(SiteControllerTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `get' for #<SiteControllerTest:0x4854b1c>
site_controller_test.rb:31:in `test_help'
3) Error:
test_index(SiteControllerTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `get' for #<SiteControllerTest:0x485470c>
site_controller_test.rb:15:in `test_index'
3 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 3 errors
Other people have had this issue and the only proposed solution is just to reinstall. I'm not to enthused by this. Since this is an older book there this is probably just breakage between rails versions. What would be the equivalent of this for rails v2.3.2?

Replace all the following code
# Re-raise errors caught by the controller.
class SiteController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end
class SiteControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@controller = SiteController.new
@request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
@response = ActionController::TestResponse.new
end
with
class SiteControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
The code you are using refers to Rails 2.0/2.1.

One other thing you might like to know is that Railspace has evolved into Insoshi so the latest code is available there. Might be handy for you when you run into other issues.

Try changing Test::Unit::TestCase to ActionController::TestCase.
