I assume that this is for a "related" database [connected] and should work [and normally does?]

the server_name method just isn't defined on the fake requests that passed in. It should be hard to add this, similar to how user_agent or host are set (in test_process.rb).

Alternatively you could always stick

def setup
  def @request.server_name
    "foo.bar"
  end
end

in the relevant test cases

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.

Yes, it works fine outside the normal "testing" context.

Regarding Fredricks's response. I thought I tried that inside my functional test, but still received the error. Let me try it again though.

The other thing is that this test is relevant in all my test cases, but let me try the work around out again.

I still get the same error:

NoMethodError: undefined method server_name' for <ActionController::TestRequest

when defining

def setup def @request.server_name

"127.0.0.1"

end end

in the test case specifically.

Any other recommendations for this one?
