In my view, I have a periodically_call_remote which then redirects the user to a different page based on some condition.
In order to test this in my integration file I tried issuing an xml_http_request followed by a follow_redirect!.
Unfortunately this gives me a RuntimeError telling me that the response wasn't a redirect.
My program works when I run it in a browser, I just can't get the integration test to work.
I've learned that it depends on where I put the page.redirect. If I put page.redirect in the controller the integration test passes, but the page doesn't reload when I run it in a browser. On the other hand, if I put the page.redirect in an RJS the page reloads, but the integration test fails.

It looks like Integration::Session doesn't evaluate JavaScript returned from a page request. Therefore, I had to check that the response I got back was the desired JavaScript. I then had to tell the session object to fetch the new page.
session.xml_http_request :post, 'site/get_new_page'
session.assert_equal session.response.body, 'window.location.href = "/site/new_page";'
session.get "/site/new_page"
