I'm trying to create a functional test where the controller action (for 
now, anyway) breaks apart a string and populates intermediate variables 
with the results. I want to check the intermediate vars in my test, so I 
tried the following

(in the controller)

def string_action
  # do some processing, etc.
  @string_segment = "howdy"
end

(in the unit test)
def test_the_string_doohicky
  post :string_action, ... some params here, etc.
  assert_equal "howdy", assigns["string_segment"]
end

The assigns[] always comes up nil, so I must be missing something here. 
Any pointers?

TIA,
Keith
