I can't figure out the syntax for getting the id of the parent resource, so all the tests error with "could not find Parent without id"
the controller says
@parent = Parent.find(params[:parent_id])
how do you get the id into the test?
You can pass it along as a parameter:
# in test, might want "post" instead
get :some_action, :parent_id => 1
i have a similar problem closely related - before_filter calls a method with the following code within my parent_controller:
@parent = Parent.find(params[:parent_id])
@group = Group.find(@parent.group_id)
my rails app works fine but it keeps failing on this functional test. i tried including the Group model, but it didnt solve the problem..
i find this odd, since group is being created after the instance variable parent is created..

Did you set the group_id column in the parent fixtures?
Also, there's no need to fetch a group this way, you can do it like this:
@parent = Parent.find(params[:parent_id])
@group = @parent.group
ah that was the problem - forgot to add the id's to the fixtures
thanks for the tip on how to fetch the group - i didn't realize i get that method after having the belongs_to association for it
