Rails - Dec 2005 - Posting to a separate controller in a functional test

Hi,

I need to post to a controller to log in a user in a functional test, 
but I''m not sure what to do to post to a separate controller.
I''ve
tried:

post { :controller => :account, :action => :do_login }, { bla bla bla }

But that doesnt seem to have worked. Help?

I had this same problem and managed to post to a different controller by 
explicitly setting the @controller variable.

In my home_controller_test.rb, where
  def setup
    @controller = HomeController.new
    @request    = ActionController::TestRequest.new
    @response   = ActionController::TestResponse.new
  end
 
I had to
    @controller = LoginController.new
    post :login, :user => {:name => name, :password => password}

to get a post to go to the LoginController.

Hope this helps,
Sandi
