a timocracy of one

Before I could even get started on actually coding the second piece of the Typo plugin, I spent a lot of time wondering why I was getting the following error when trying to run my tests:

NameError: uninitialized constant ActionController::TestRequest

I kept looking at the the other plugin I’ve been working on which the tests run just fine on and scratching my head. It turns out in the working plugin I had stashed the “require ‘action_controller/test_process’” line in the testing controller I made, so I didn’t notice the difference. I’ll be moving that back for clarity tomorrow, but remember kids, if you are doing controller driven tests outside of Rails (like in a plugin) put in that line.
