Routes in Functional Tests?

Hello Rails Talk,

How do I get named routes in my functional tests? I am testing a mailer and want to check for a URL in the email:

:: user_mailer_test.rb :: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper' require 'user_mailer'

class UserMailerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase # FIXTURES_PATH = File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../fixtures'   CHARSET = "utf-8"

  include ActionMailer::Quoting

  def setup     ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test     ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true     ActionMailer::Base.deliveries =     @expected = TMail::Mail.new     @expected.set_content_type "text", "plain", { "charset" => CHARSET }   end

  def test_confirmation_sent     user = create_user     email = UserMailer.create_signup_notification(user)     assert_match('http://#{HOST}/' + @controller.activate_path(user.activation_code), email.body)   end end

Regards, --Dean

Forgot to say that this test fails like this:

  1) Error: test_confirmation_sent(BrewerMailerTest): NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.activate_path     ./test/functional/brewer_mailer_test.rb:21:in `test_confirmation_sent'
