Rails - Jan 2007 - Functional Test Fails with before filter in application.rb

Hi There,
I am trying to write my first tests for a role bassed authentication
taken from Rails Recipies. Whenever I add:

assert_redirected_to :action => ''login''

I get the following error:
NoMethodError: undefined method `first'' for :user:Symbol
   
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.1/lib/action_controller/assertions/response_assertions.rb:72:in
`assert_redirected_to''
   
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.1/lib/action_controller/assertions/response_assertions.rb:43:in
`assert_redirected_to''
   
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.1/lib/action_controller/assertions.rb:60:in
`clean_backtrace''
   
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.1/lib/action_controller/assertions/response_assertions.rb:35:in
`assert_redirected_to''
    test/functional/user_controller_test.rb:24:in
`test_index_with_user''

The controller I am testing is user_controller.rb
THe check_auth functions are in the application.rb
Would this break it?
Is there some way around this or have i just been staring too long and
missedsomething?
Thanks.

THE TEST:
in user_contorller_test.rb

  def test_index_without_user
    get :index
    assert_response :redirect
    assert_redirected_to :action => "login"
    assert_equal "Please login", flash[:notice]
  end

in application.rb

  before_filter :check_authentication,
                :check_authorization,
                :except => [:login]


  def check_authentication
    unless session[:user]
      flash[:notice] = "Please login"
      redirect_to :controller => :user, :action => :login
      return false
    end
  end
