Thanks for the suggestion, Ignacio, but that request is still assumed to be
a request against the TitlesController:
it "Authenticated user must see Titles index" do
get '/dev/set_current_user?login=me%40nowhere.com'
get :index
it { must render_template(:index) }
end
TitlesController
0001 Authenticated user must see Titles index
ERROR
No route matches {:controller=>"titles",
:action=>"/dev/set_current_user?login=me%40nowhere.com"}
STDERR:
