i am trying to learn testing for rails apps. i followed the two authlogic tutorials (basic authlogic setup and password reset) and now i am trying to add some integration tests with cucumber (i know you are supposed to do the tests 1st, but i am just trying to figure out how things work).
i found this app http://github.com/hectoregm/rails-templates/tree/master with a bunch of cucumber/webrat tests setup for authlogic so i started applying them to my app
the app works fine when i do everything in the web browser, but i can not figure out why it doesn't work with the tests. when it creates a user account it should go to the show account page and flash "account registered", but instead it is creating a user in the database (good), going to my home page(bad), and the flash is "logout successful"(bad).
anyone have any guidance on what might be going wrong or how to troubleshoot this?
