I'm not sure that you can send requests to 'other' controllers in
Rails' functional testing at the moment (I believe that the upcoming
integration testing is going to cover that).
If you want to test the user login controller, you would need to set
the @controller instance variable to be a UserController object.
In most cases like this, it is sufficient to simply place a User
object in the test session directly, rather than log in via an actual
controller. There have been quite a few posts about this to the mail
Rails list over the past month or so; a trip to Google should find
them fairly quickly.
