Thanks Nick, that was helpful. I'm wondering if it's possible to test module behavior and then test that the module behavior of interest is invoked from the before/after filter enclosing the controller action under test.
To me, it seems that I'm missing a step if I don't fill in my 4), below: 1) test included module behavior 2) test that module is included in controller class 3) test that the module methods are responsive from the host class 4) [test that the module method(s) invoked in before/after filters for actions in the host are called when their enclosed actions are.] Maybe it would be helpful to note that my module behavior is redirection.
