...t''s declared so @user shouldn''t be lost between method calls within a single controller but it is. @user seems to be acting like a local variable, user. It doesn''t seem like I can access the session hash from a model for some reason. Why not? Also, If I generate a session_controller.rb does that have any kind of special status or is it just like any other controller I generate?

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank.

I have some "redirect_to"s using named routes in a controller that work fine in the browser, but choke my tests. The route in question is "new_session" and comes from a "map.resource :session, :controller => :session" route mapping.

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model.
