I have this in a functional test:
xml_http_request :delete, person_movie_path(1,1)
and the error I get says the action cannot be found, as if the ':delete' method is not being translated to the appropriate destroy action. It works fine as an Ajax call from the browser.
What am I doing wrong?

Probably wrong path. Check the URL generated by "person_movie_path(1,1)" against the output of "rake routes".

That's what I thought but it checks out fine (I've practically blinded myself examining rake routes). I even test the route in the test method, and it passes. And it does work from the browser: indentical path (and :delete method).
The error I get is :
ActionController::UnknownAction: No action responded to /people/1/ movies/1. Actions: create, create_guid, lots more methods here, including "destroy"........
Ok, so the solution seems to be to forget paths and do the test like this :
xml_http_request :delete,'destroy',{:id=>1,:person_id=>1}
