Rails - Apr 2006 - flash.now in functional tests

Hi,

Does anybody know how I can access messages set using flash.now in my 
functional tests? assert_equal ''my notice'', flash[:notice]
doesn''t. I
guess that makes sense since they''re flushed as soon as the request 
request is finished. You can scan the HTML for a particular string you 
expect to be displayed, but is there a more direct way of doing this?

Cheers,

Jeroen
