Rails - Sep 2006 - some help with functional testing of nested routes

I have the following functional test in test/functional for testing my 
products_controller:


require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper''
require ''products_controller''

# Re-raise errors caught by the controller.
class ProductsController
  def rescue_action(e)
    raise e
  end
end

class ProductsControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  fixtures :products, :categories

  def setup
    @controller = ProductsController.new
    @request    = ActionController::TestRequest.new
    @response   = ActionController::TestResponse.new
    @first_id = products(:first).id
    @category_id = categories(:first).id
  end

  def test_index
    # HTTP GET
    get :index
    assert_response :success
    assert assigns(:products)
    assert_template ''index''
  end

  def test_new
    # HTTP GET
    get :new
    assert_response :success
    assert_template ''new''
    assert_not_nil assigns(:product)
  end

  def test_create
    num_records = Product.count

    # HTTP POST
    post :create, :product => {:name => ''New Test
Product''}
    assert_response :redirect
    assert_redirected_to :action => ''index''
    assert_equal num_records + 1, Product.count
  end

.
.
.

I have the following in my routes file:

  map.resources :categories, :classifications

  map.resources :categories do |m|
    m.resources :products
  end

Using the routes navigator i have the following:

named_route > products
[:category_id, :action, :controller]
{:action=>"index", :controller=>"products"}  
{:method=>:get}
/categories/:category_id/products/

product
[:category_id, :id, :action, :controller]
{:action=>"show", :controller=>"products"}  
{:method=>:get}
/categories/:category_id/products/:id/



Im not sure how to adjust the tests to ensure that they are supplying 
the category infirmation needed. The extent on my testing knowledge was 
to add the nam to the product post to ensure that the name requqired 
validation succeeded.

Im just trying to start testing so if you have a description of why, for 
my understanding, that would be fantastic !

thanks in advance.
