rspec users - Sep 2007 - rspec_on_rails: controller method not getting called

In my rspec_on_rails controlle rspec, I have this:

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper''

describe FooController, "with a foo" do
  it "should be false" do
    get ''index''
    assigns[:foo].should be_false
  end
end

In my controller I have this:

class FooController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @foo = FALSE
  end
end

But the result of running the spec is:
1)
''FooController should be false'' FAILED
expected false, got nil

It seems I can give any argument to `get`in the description and it
won''t
complain that the method is missing, so I suppose this means that the `get`
in the description is not calling my ''index'' method.  Any
advice?

I''m using the latest RSpec and rspec_on_rails, ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3.
 
Thanks,

Chad

I figured it out.  

By doing this session sanity check in the spec (as recommended by
dchelimsky):
    sess = session
    get ''index''
    sess.should equal(session)

I was able to see that a ''Please log in'' redirect was
preventing index from
getting called.
