Assumptions

The plugin makes certain assumptions about your application. Some of these can be bypassed or overridden if your app does not conform.

• You have appropriate map.resources lines in your routes.rb for any controllers you intend to test with these methods.
• sessions_path helper method returns the path to a controller that controls user logins. (Provided automatically by Rails if you have a sessions_controller and routes.rb includes "map.resources :sessions".)
• Your sessions controller accepts parameters in the form of… {:user => {:username => ‘xxx’, :password => ‘yyy’}} Override by providing your own new_session_as method that generates an appropriate session for your app with the user provided.
