Strange error when calling follow_redirect

[Stevenwulf]

Greetings, I keep getting the following error after calling follow_redirect() in one of my tests.

  TypeError: can't convert Symbol into String
  	/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb:381:in `delete'
  	/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb:381:in `follow_redirect'

here is my test

   def test_show_without_platform
 	soft_name = @version.software.name.downcase
 	ver_name = @version.name.downcase
 
 	@request.env['PATH_INFO'] =  "/all/#{soft_name}/#{ver_name}"   
 	get :show, {:version => ver_name,
 						   :software => soft_name,
 						   :platform_filter => "all"}
 
 	url = user_show_software_url(:platform_filter => 'all', :software => soft_name)
 	assert_redirected_to(url)
 	
 	follow_redirect
   end

If I comment out follow_redirect() the error does not occur. If anyone has a clue I'd love to hear from you.

Ok, I think I found the problem. My redirect was taking me to a different controller. From the new "Agile Dev Book," I found the following quote:

"follow_redirect( )
If the preceding action generated a redirect, follow it by issuing a get
request. Functional tests can only redirect to their own controller."

Ah that would make sense I think you got it. And now I know for the future...
