I've started out my new rails app by setting up users and sessions by following the example in the FlexibleRails book. This uses the restful_authentication plugin. It then generates users sessions and sets up basic routes like
map.resources :users map.resource :session
map.signup '/signup', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new' map.login '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new' map.logout '/logout', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy'
After setting all that up I tested it manually and ran rake to run the tests, and everything worked fine.
Then I started generating my scaffolds and models, and probably waited too long to run tests again. Now when I run rake, I get a bunch of errors in UserController and SessionController. In addition, when I go to localhost:3000/signup, which is supposed to take me to the generated new user screen, I get an infinite redirect to session/new. Here's the log for the signup page:

I'm not sure what that 'SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL' is or if it's normal or not. I googled it but didn't find anything relevant.
The UsersController class only defines an empty method for new, so it's suppose to show the new.rhtml, right? Why is it redirecting to the session controller?
