testing post :action with an array in the parameters

Hi,

I have a html form with check boxes. When the user chooses one or more check boxes, an array is passed as a parameter to the controller.

in html form page... <input type='checkbox' name='myarray' value='<%= value %>' checked/> <%= name %> <br/>

in controller params[:myarray] # this in an array of all the values checked

This works great, but I am having trouble replicating the post in my tests. Does anybody know how to pass an array in a post test?

This gives me a routing error...

post :create, {:myarray => ['value1, 'value2'] }

Thanks, Stephanie

After further tinkering I realized that is passing the array. The routing error was within the action, not the creation of the test post. Sorry for the list traffic.
