Functional Test - assert_raise exception gives headache !

in one of my functional test, I check the followoing :

def test_user_should_not_show_documents     login_as (:quentin)     assert_raise (Exceptions::SecurityTransgression) { get :show, :id => 2, :franchise_id => 3 } end

In my controller , I wrote :

  before_filter :login_required   before_filter :find_parent def show    raise SecurityTransgression unless @parent.can_be_edited_by? (current_user)    @document = Document.find(params[:id].to_i) .....   end

I wrote the exception class and rescue action in my application.rb class SecurityTransgression < StandardError; end

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base   include AuthenticatedSystem ...   def rescue_action_locally(exception)     begin       case exception       when ::Exceptions::SecurityTransgression           render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/403.html", :status => 403 ...... end

in testing, the exception is raised, (as @parent cannot be edited by the current_user... I checked it...) the log gives a failure I cannot explain :

1) Failure: test_user_should_not_show_documents(DocumentsControllerTest)     [./test/functional/documents_controller_test.rb:66:in `test_user_should_not_show_documents'      /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/ active_support/testing/setup_and_teardown.rb:67:in `__send__'      /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/ active_support/testing/setup_and_teardown.rb:67:in `run']: <Exceptions::SecurityTransgression> exception expected but was Class: <SecurityTransgression> Message: <"SecurityTransgression"> ---Backtrace--- /Users/yves/Developpement/Projects/aelmat/intranet/app/controllers/ documents_controller.rb:19:in `show' ........

the exception is expected, but ...

what could be the problem ?

Note : I am using the same assert_raise (Exceptions::SecurityTransgression) in testing another controller without any problem ...

thanks for your suggestions

got it... I forgot to write an Include Exceptions in my DocumentsController where the SecurityTransgression is defined....
