  • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

  You need to either inherit from ActiveSupport::TestCase or ActionController::TestCase to get these helpers.

  I was. That's the weird thing. I updated all our tests to inherit from the correct classes that a new 2.3 app sets up for scaffold'd data. (i.e. the two classes you mentioned).

  The method was not available until I added the include line.

  weird

  
  module ActionController
    class TestCase < ActiveSupport::TestCase
      include TestProcess

  I encountered the same error. Using rspec. Adding 'include ActionController::TestProcess' to my spec_helper fixed it for me as well.

  Joshua, to be more precise, it's ActiveSupport::TestCase that doesn't have this method included automatically (unit tests). The functionals, which use ActionController::TestCase don't have this problem (because as you mentioned, it includes TestProcess). Thus, why doing this fixes it:

  class ActiveSupport::TestCase
    include ActionController::TestProcess
  end
  
  

  I'm attaching a diff which resolves this issue within Rails.

  • State changed from “open” to “invalid”

  This is a controller concern, so it's part of ActionController::TestCase

  So my problems were rspec-releated: apparently rspec does not load controller behaviors unless the spec file is in spec/controllers. Moving all tests to spec/controllers allowed me to pull the include workaround out of my spec_helper. My specs were converted from testunit and had some outdated naming conventions, I guess.
