Rails - Oct 2004 - ANN: Functional Test Assistant 0.1.0

I use this in my functional tests, so I thought I''d package and
release it for Railer-consumption.  It''s about time I give back
considering all the help I''ve gotten from the RoR community.

The FunctionalTestAssistant class and its sidekick assertions help you
author your functional tests much more quickly.  Here''s a quick look
at the new assertions that are available:

assert_success
assert_rendered_action
assert_redirect
assert_redirect_url
assert_redirect_url_match
assert_template_has
assert_template_has_no
assert_flash_has
assert_flash_has_no
assert_flash_empty
assert_flash_not_empty
assert_template_AR_invalid
assert_template_AR_valid
assert_template_AR_column_invalid
assert_template_AR_column_valid

There''s detailed help available in the README file.

You can download it from:
  http://www.swimshark.ca/rails/functional_test_assistant-0.1.0.tar.gz

I''m very much open to suggestions and feedback.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve, 
I don''t have any say (at all) in whether this gets picked up as an
official or unofficial Rails add-on, but this looks hyper-useful to me
as a Rails developer.

Thanks!

Rick
