Test weirdness

Hi gurus,

I have this in routes.rb:

map.root :controller => 'items'

This in my method controller

redirect_to_root( msg = 'Oops!' )

And this in my application controller

  def redirect_to_root( msg = nil )     flash[ :notice ] = msg if msg     redirect_to root_path   end

With this in my functionals test for the method,

assert_redirected_to root_path

I get the following error on rake test:functionals

1) Failure: test_should_create_donor(DonorsControllerTest) [/test/functional/ donors_controller_test.rb:29]: Expected response to be a redirect to <http://test.host/&gt; but was a redirect to <http://test.host/items&gt;\.

Any idea how to fix this? I've spent hours trying to eliminate this error...

Many TIA, Craig
