Instance Method Details

#setup ⇒ Object

Sets up instance variables to allow tests depending on a controller work.

setup uses the instance variable @controller_class_name to determine which controller class to instantiate.

setup also instantiates a new @request and @response object.

If you need to perform extra setup actions, define #setup_extra and FunctionalTestCase will call it after performing the rest of its setup actions.
