Rails - Mar 2009 - Superclass mismatch (Functional test)

Hilo. I''m trying to build an app with TDD, but my first functional test
is a mess. The example from the book fails, and I haven''t found any
information on this issue. When I run my test, it throws:
C:\Users\NomNomNom\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Embark\test\functional\admin\author_controller_test.rb:4:
superclass mismatch for class AuthorControllerTest (TypeError)

Here is my test:
[code]require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../test_helper''
require ''admin/author_controller''
class Admin::AuthorControllerTest; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end
class Admin::AuthorControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
  @controller = AuthorController.new
  @request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
  @response = ActionController::TestResponse.new
end

def test_new
  get :new
  assert_template ''admin/author/new''
  assert_tag ''h1'', :content => ''Create new
author''
  assert_tag ''form'', :attributes => {:action =>
''/admin/author/create''}
end
end
[/code]

Thank you for any help. I''d gladly take a working example if you
don''t
know what''s wrong with this specific code.

It''s these two line above: you''ve declared
Admin::AuthorControllerTest
as deriving from Object , and the line below you say it derives from
Test::Unit::TestCase. The standard boiler plate should actually read

class Admin::AuthorController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end
class Admin::AuthorControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

As of rails 2.1 you don''t that - you''re test file can just be

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../test_helper''
class Admin::AuthorControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  def test_new
    ..
  end
end

subclassing from  ActionController::TestCase means you don''t need the
setup method or the funky error re-raising stuff.
